One of the cross-beams between the two spans. We had seen these from below, but 200 feet away they seemed much smaller. There's a worker in there for a sense of scale.

  • The scale of this project is daunting. These are all "temporary", right? Just something needed during construction

  • This crossbeam is not temporary, no. It will ultimately help hold the two spans apart while the hanger cables pull them together.

  • The old bridge will remain?

  • No, the old bridge is coming down. The big white beam the photo is focused on will stay.
