Causewayhead Road railway bridge replacement
The old steel girder bridge stands on temporary supports. It has been jacked up and moved about 200m using a pair of SPMTs (self-propelled modular transporters). Presumably, work is concentrated on installing the new bridge, before disposing of the old bridge.

River Forth railway bridges
It's not immediately obvious that there are 2 parallel bridges here. The nearer upstream bridge carries the line from Stirling to Dunblane and Perth, which opened in 1848. The downstream bridge carries the line to Alloa, opened in 1852, closed in 1968 and re-opened in 2008. There are plans to electrify both of these lines.

Stirling, the A9 bridge
The town to the right and Causewayhead (the causeway the patriot army led by William Wallace attacked from in 1297); until the M9 Stirling by-pass was opened this used to be the main road to the north. The Forth is almost at high tide and in mild spate after a few days of heavy rain and at this time a treacherous stretch of water below the piers of the Auld Brig with strong eddies and whirlpools evident.

A pair of SPMTs (self-propelled modular transporters), each with 14 axles, stand in the construction compound. They have been used to jack up and remove the old bridge, and then manoeuvre the new bridge into position.
