Two adjacent railway bridges are being rebuilt. This is a section of the old bridge. Traffic has been diverted onto a temporary new bridge, and this section of bridge can now be demolished and rebuilt. Because the A40 is a main road into London two lanes of traffic each way have to be maintained while the bridge is rebuilt.
