The last major job was to remove the two cranes from the top of the towers. This was done with a huge mobil crane that took the tower cranes down in 8 separate pieces.

This picture is from the local paper and shows one of two sections that will slip between the two towers. The towers inside width is 1 1/4 inches wider than the bridge deck!

We were lucky to be on the bridge when a lift was to take place. Here the barge has been moved into position under the gantry crane and the lifting cables are attached

This deck section is 116 feet long, and weighs over 450 tons. The mast on the front of the barge is the GPS antenna.
