    I passed a truck carrying one of the giant white deck girders on the 401 westbound the other day. They're hard to miss with those angled stay cable sockets on the side.
    Congratulations to all the teams making this new link a reality.

    Outstanding video. As a steelworker in the US Navy Seabees in Viet Nam, I was ab,le to relate to the detail that you went into regarding the rebar and other reinforcements that were used in the bridge. My hat is off to all of the workers involved in this project. Thank you for all of your hard work!

      Maybe the bridge got sick and the canadian part had to wait longer to get care. Or because they had to write everything billingual on the Canadian pieces. 😂

      @@Knightmessenger Having lived in Detroit for over 30 years and also living in Ontario the past 30 years (I am a dual citizen), I find your comment regarding health care interesting. Americans have been brainwashed to believe that everyone waits forever to get serious health issues dealt with in Canada and that somehow things are better in the States. The reality is quite the opposite. Millions of Americans go broke every year due to lack of proper medical coverage. If you are one of the unfortunate millions who cannot afford good health care or have to compromise on paying exorbitant fees on prescription drugs because you need to put food on your table, you may be quite surprised to learn that much of the medical care here is fully covered. I have never paid a dime to to see a doctor and was always able to see my GP either the same day or no longer than a day's wait when making an appointment. Furthermore, when diagnosed with colon cancer 10 years ago, I was seen by a surgeon and operated on within 2 weeks. (It would have been sooner if it had further progressed at that point.) I was required to remain in the hospital following the operation for a week in a semi-private room with tv and all meals included. How much did this cost me? Again, not a dime...it was entirely free. I feel fortunate that I lived in Canada when this happened because I can't imagine how much it would have cost me in the US, possibly jeopardized my retirement. I should mention that this operation occurred during my retirement. These are the facts; not the BS that is fed to you by your worthless politicians who lie to you all the time about this. And why do they lie...because they are in the pockets of the medical/insurance lobbies who are afraid if the truth were known, they would lose out on all the billions of dollars they collect in their current arrangement. These are the facts, whether you want to accept them or not. Have a nice day.

      It's a long and arduous climb. There is a ladder within the tower. Needless to say, they make as few trips as possible up and down. They don't climb down to use the restroom if you get what I mean. I asked.
