Vehicle carrying structure
A vehicle carrying structure 2 comprises a plurality of side walls 6, a floor section 12 and a roof section 10. At least one aperture 16 exists in one of the sections or side walls, and is configured to allow pressure equalisation as a vehicle, such as a railway vehicle, passes through the structure. The apertures may be located between the roof and a side wall such that the apertures are parallel to the floor. The apertures may be regularly spaced and may be separated by ribs 20. The side walls may be connected to the roof or floor by a detachable hinge. The walls, roof or floor may be formed of sound proofing material. The floor may be connected to supporting legs 4, which may be formed from vibration damping material and may be partially embedded within a support. The structure may be elevated above a body of water. The roof may be flat, and may house solar panels or vegetation. Adjacent structures may permit vehicular flow in the same or opposite directions.
