• Bridge Worker Loses It...
Someone told me that this man is a foreman. He's a legend.
I hope he and the other workers like these videos and they can show them to their friends and family all their hard work. They are making history.
Thank you for all your hard work.
Gordie Howe International Bridge in Detroit, Michigan.
The Gordie Howe International Bridge will connect Detroit, Michigan and Windsor, Ontario, in Canada. The bridge is named after Gordie Howe, who played for the Detroit Red Wings. The bridge will facilitate trade and traffic between the US and Canada and provide another crossing point between Detroit and Windsor.
The bridge is designed as a cable-stayed bridge, with cables anchored to pylons that support the bridge deck. This design allows for longer spans with a nice appearance.
Six Lanes: The bridge will have three lanes in each direction to for vehicular traffic between Detroit, Michigan, and Windsor, Ontario.
Pedestrian and Bicycle Access: The design includes pedestrian and bicycle access, providing alternative ways of transportation and recreational use of the bridge.

it would be good if you could show how that platform is moved.
They have, they use a huge crane many videos of them working on the bridge.
@tahoebabe8939 the traveler platform rolls on those 2 beams under the bridge and is pulled up or rolled back with large hand winches. Nothing exciting
Bet all these workers grew up playing with Lego!
Right!
History in the Making.... Someone has to do it even if there is a grumpy from the Snow White seven dwarfs.
I wonder how the two ends will meet up when they come together. How much adjustment will be necessary. I am sure they have tried to be as precise as possible so everything will fit together when they meet but there will have to be some error. We will see how accurate the survey companies have been.
Wouldn't that be a b**** if they were 8 inches off
rob: The final pieces will need to be custom made as it's final manufacturing size is somewhat unknown.
Good to know.
@@BasementEngineer Very interesting.
Might want to buy those guys a coffee.
He looks like a fun guy to be around. I thought that those platforms were on a trolley beam. Interesting, wonder if they are going to leave them in place for maintenance?
They could use those for maintenance.
@@michaelanthonyvideos I suspect that some platforms, perhaps 2, will be left in place and parked between the tower legs.
These are temp platforms I heard they have powered ones for permanent maintenance
@@brandonpratt5130 Thanks.
Always wondered what happened to Tank Abbott.
It could be him!
Boy, I think that guy that did the finger thing has turned over a new leaf. Maybe somebody yelled at him😂😢
yes he sure has. 😁
I keep trying see how that platform is attached.
There is Thai points held with come along they must use the mobile crane to move it forward
🌉👍
🙏✌
Hello Michael! More marvellous videography. The close-ups are truly priceless! Did you miss your vocation:-))?
Be sure to have all your drone batteries charged when the final sections are being fitted into place, most likely during September 2024.
The reason for picking this date is that it takes about 1 month to erect and finish one deck section. 1 section on each end requires completion with deck slabs and concrete grouting, taking us to say mid May. 2 sections remain to be erected on each end which would take us to say mid July. After that careful measurements and adjustment of the stay cables, followed by more measurements to be carried out, say by end of July.
Only then may the custom made closure pieces be fabricated and shipped to the bridge site, taking us to end of August.
Followed by final erection and closure during September 2024. Placing of concrete deck slabs and grouting may take additional time. Maybe you should take bets on this?
They actually do a 15-meter section in 12 days (start to finish, steel, concrete, everything), or 2 sections in just under a month. As of today there's only 41 meters left, two 15-meter sections (one on each side), then the custom 11-meter midspan connector section. It should be connected before September!
@@ChrisSeliga Indeed, with your information you would be correct.
My information was based on scaling available photos and information from various posts.
Thank you Basement Engineer! I will definitely be ready.
Way too many guys just standing around in my opinion.
Not necessarily...white hat is boss standing around and he has boss with dark hat assistant at the ready...bearded guy is supervisor managing actual production...just my opinion...
@@pinocircular9913 The bearded guy is the foreman.
Well Berty, you should march right over there and share your valuable opinion.
@@robertpalmer3166 The confidence with which opinions are delivered is often inversely proportional to their validity.
No, I think We have TOO many in Goverment
Erector sets no
Must be from the Detroit side..middle finger guy needs to chill..
Of course it’s the Detroit side.
What I find most amazing is that for every guy doing actual work there's three guys standing there watching them. Maybe it could have cost only $5 billion if
they were more efficient.
Aren't we poor slobs in Canada paying for this whole thing anyway ? At least that's what was reported before it was built. Maybe we should be paying all those guys in Canadian dollars.
Yes, the Canadian government is paying for the bridge.
@@michaelanthonyvideos The "government" produces no money. They only steal it from hard working taxpayers.
tony: I suspect that Canada is going to collect the largest portion of the toll charges.
@@michaelanthonyvideosWell, let’s face it, we can afford it, our national debt is a lot smaller. 😂
@@blueman5924 so true
a lot of people standing idle (probably high pay union workers). so goes the american way!!!...............g
For sure. They all work hard though.
bot detected
We are all union on both sides
I see a lot of hammers I hope they're not using nails to put this together there's a lot of non-working going on there
They're called Nelson Studs.
@aljock6927 They are driving barrel pins, which are same diameters of the bolt holes through the splice plates and beam web/flanges (typically at the corners of the splice plates) to bring the connections of the adjacent beams into final alignment. Once all of the barrel pins are driven, the bolts are stuck, and final tensioning/torquing is performed, then the barrel pins are removed and the remaining bolts will be stuck. There's only about 200 bolts being stuck in that one connection...
@@michaelanthonyvideos I believe Nelson studs are those pegs on top of the beam flanges to tie the concrete grout solidly to the beam flanges. By these means the deck panels are also attached to the beam flanges.
These studs are flash welded to the beam flanges. If you see the odd stud bent almost horizontal, this was done with a big hammer to test a sample of studs for weld integrity.
Not sure what they're called now, but we used to call them "body fitted bolts". Basically there is "zero" clearance between the body of the bolt and the hole, so they need to be driven into place. Essentially, once torqued up, there is no movement between the fastened pieces.

WHO THE HELL IS GORDIE ? ? ?
Good video, bad musical
