• Current NDT approaches for bonded plates are not appropriate to NSM and these have had to be replaced by increased Quality Assurances processes and records during installation. The detailed design for the Swanley I/C west bridge is ongoing, incorporating lessons learned from the east bridge scheme. Site work is scheduled to start in Summer 2024. Acknowledgements The authors of the paper acknowledge all parties who collaborated to achieve the successful outcome of the scheme, including; National Highways, Connect Plus Ltd, Connect Plus Services, Octavius, CRL, GBS, G-Tech and WSP.
