Is this news posted anywhere official? It would seem to indicate that an entire week of freight will be cancelled. Last night’s trains may indeed have been the last ones over the old bridge.
I should also mention that on my way through this morning I saw a large truck delivering many more pipe segments and what I suspect are more pumps. Coming back in the afternoon, sure enough, five more pipes, larger than the previous ones, are being set up to take water from above the work zone to below. A temporary bridge is being installed to take pedestrians over the pipes. My guess is that this approximately triples their pumping capacity. Whether this is enough I have no idea.
