Half of the new bridge, with the sliding part visible, safely moored in a day with 100 km/h (70 mph) winds.
On Friday, two days later, most of the footbridge is already in place.
From afar, we can easily see the retractable part in the middle and the fixed pontoons on the sides.

ReplyDeleteThat's quite an efficient way to go about it!
ReplyDeleteThat would be great to see.
ReplyDeleteSo interesting to see how it is fitted together. But how could they work in that wind??
ReplyDeleteThe bridge sure makes a change in the landscape.
Well, it is going to take time and will cost money...
ReplyDeleteThe result will be very good!
Dina - Nobody was at work on Wednesday: I was barely able to stand still to take a few pictures, and even the water of the canal was rough. They had all Thursday and Friday morning to get the work done: the 2nd and 3rd shots were taken around noon, on Friday.
ReplyDeleteLooks like the wind brought sunshine... This is going to be great and I love your documenting of the works!
ReplyDeleteLooks like it will be a fine structure and a fine addition to your city. 70 mph winds! That's amazing - hurricane strength!
