	Tinsley Viaduct - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tinsley Viaduct is a two-tier road bridge in Sheffield, England; the first of its kind in the country.
		The viaduct is one of Sheffield's most prominent landmarks, made all the more so by the adjacent pair of cooling towers that were left standing for safety reasons after the demolition of the Blackburn Meadows power station.
		Both the viaduct and the cooling towers continue to be the subject of local controversy: many criticise the viaduct as unsafe and constantly under repair, and others consider the cooling towers an eye-sore that should be pulled down.

		A brief record is included of the design and construction of Tinsley Viaduct one of the first instances of a motorway being carried through a densely populated urban area and also the first steel structure in Britain to carry road traffic on two tiers.
		Concreting was started in the middle of the viaduct moving both ways so that there were four working faces, and was not placed in areas that would become subject to dead load tensile forces until that dead load had been added thus minimising cracking.
		Electric Heating cables were built into the road surface of the top deck because of the viaducts exposed position, and to counteract the possible affects of ice formation as a result of condensation from the nearby cooling towers.

	Tinsley Viaduct, Sheffield
		On its upper deck, the viaduct was to carry the M1 motorway extension from Sheffield to Leeds with the lower deck providing a link road for local traffic across the valley.
		To facilitate the movement of materials along the viaduct, a railway was laid on the lower deck as it was extended.
		The principle components of the viaduct were the main longitudinal box girders, each 50 ft. long and weighing 25 tons, which in some cases arrived at the site with the rails for the contractor’s railway already in position on them.

		For example, local diversions from the top level of the Viaduct to the lower level, the A631, are used during periods of high winds and when accidents occur on the Viaduct.
		When the Viaduct needs to be closed for roadworks, alternative traffic routes are agreed with the Local Highway Authorities.

		Its the northern end of the Tinsley viaduct (by the two cooling towers), and it seems rather odd, that a road leaves the rounadbout between the slip road, and the motorway it joins.
		However, when you consider that the M1 was bulit right alongside the road through Blackburn there, it would have been either a case of rerouting the road around the back of a new sliproad, or cantilevering the sliproad over the road to meet the M1.
		Given the M1 crosses on a viaduct there and it's artificially higher than ground level at that point, a steep climb for the onbound slip would always have been necessary, so they just arched it over the Blackburn road...
