At least a dozen guys there - had to get this right. Neat to see the guys waving you in - particularly the one proud of his scree work. And feathering the edges, it’s all in the details.
Fasinating to watch, the things we take for granted but even seeing them lay concrete that hundreds and thousands of cards will use is even interesting to see come together, plus seeing the guys encourage you to come closer to take a look shows how much they are prideful of their work. Quite interesting.
The final will be filled with the expansion grates, they jut out from the bridge deck and the approach ramp like fingers that interlock. They allow the decks to expand and contract independently from each other. The bridge will grow in length in warmer conditions and shrink in colder conditions.
They were still determining the maximum and minimum amount the expansion gap between the bridge deck and approach deck would be. They are still in process of properly tensioning the cables cause there is still more weight being added and the varying temperatures that effect the range of the gap.

@@happyhome41 Yes he has pride in his work. I hope that he watches this.
That is one big freaking expansion joint.
Great work
Watching from uganda africa
Great video!
@@cds957 thank you!

@@Hey_Its_J_ay Yes it’s so nice to see when workers take pride in their work like this. Hopefully they will see the video.
Best thing about pouring concrete, is stepping on the vibrater, the sensation is amazing!
5:44 potty with a view. Looks real cold. My hat is off to all the workers.
@@gwharton68 Yes it’s cold here.
Bet they all would have loved to be at stage a month ago, in T shirt weather. 😂
What’s Stage? And where?
Four working, eleven watching...no wonder construction is so costly.
How many yards of concrete?
Are you allowed to fly into Canadian airspace?
Looks like they are not concreting the opening? Must be for that weigh scale.

where did the 4" slump standard go?????? Too much water is a farmers mix.
What’s the point of the first 5 minutes?
Why did this take so long?

It's an engineering process to allow for expansion and contraction, let everything settle properly to ensure all safety measures are covered 👌. 😊

Do my eyes deceive me? Not one but TWO bk people there actually helping and doing something POSITIVE for Detroit.
