    Workers unhooking an edge girder in Windsor, Ontario.
    Each edge girder weighs 99,000 pounds.
    Gordie Howe International Bridge will be a six lane bridge with a width that wide enough for a future expansion to eight lanes, and will still include a pedestrian lane. It will be the longest cable-stayed bridge in North America and will also set the world record for longest composite steel and concrete cable-stayed bridge deck in the world.

    Yeah just there I want to be standing - on the end of that beam 185 feet above the river. Safety harness or none - NO THANKS!. Hats off to the guys who do this for a living.

    Really well engineered lifting attachment, wham bam thank you ma'am, next! Don't drop that pin....... In addition the crane operator held the lifting attachment away from the deck until someone was ready to take control of it and no one was surprised by it. Team work above and beyond. Good one Michael.

    Seeing those giant heavy brains perched out on the ends of the spans is crazy. And to meet at exactly the right height and angle in the middle. Just amazing.
    One question I would have is on cable stay bridges how do you do maintenance or inspections on the cables when they are at such angles?

    How much weight do you think the cables are holding from the point of the towers to the end of the partially completed bridge? How much will the bridge weigh when it's all done?

      The bolting on the one end is more than sufficient to hold the beam as a cantilever until the cable stays are connected and tensioned.
