It’s proved a mammoth task and delays, caused by the pandemic, have seen costs spiral to more than £80m. As Big Ben’s time to chime moves ever closer, BBC correspondent Tim Muffett speaks to engineers and historians about the unique challenges - and privileges - of working on this once-in-a-lifetime project.
