Abstract :
In this paper, Brunei´s Royal Albert Bridge is the only rail link between Cornwall and the rest of Britain. Refurbishing it is a complex engineering project. Dubbed ´Brunei´s masterpiece´, the 151-year-old Royal Albert Bridge spans the River Tamar between Plymouth and Saltash, carrying around 30 trains a day. Now, under the most complex refurbishment plan in its history, the structure will be strengthened, restored and repainted over the next three years. Network Rail, which is responsible for the bridge, will be inviting tenders for the work.
