Planners' usual requirement that any works to a listed structure must be "carried out with due care for the character of the structure and proper planning requirements", which can mean everything or nothing. The listed structure at dublin airport new terminus seems to be going, despite its listed status.

My offering for "What I Saw On My Holliers" was at the campsite of Maisons Laffitte, Paris. A masonry arched viaduct, to cater for quading for the TGV highpeed, was duplicated with an identical via immediately alongside. It was presumably constructed of concrete but was faced with stonework matching the original.

I see that the original viaduct almost doubled in cost during construction. Budget over-runs are nothing new!
