George Leslie Ltd are due to begin installing bridge beams over a railway in the Highlands.
Work to lift 12 precast concrete beams as part of the £3.2 million Muir of Ord railway bridge replacement project is to commence on Sunday, 19 June.
Each beam is either 10 metres or 20 metres in length and will be lifted by a 350-tonne crane on Fairmuir Road.
The structures will be placed on new abutment and pier supports, forming the main structural elements of the new bridge.
Work will take place between 2am and 9am, with completion scheduled for around midnight to 4am on Monday, 20 June.
A spokesperson for Highland Council said: "The works will continue – over further weekends and nights – including more lifts of smaller concrete elements in the coming weeks."
