Don't know at this time as to when, but next week will see the LRT bridge lower into position on the pier. Due to the lateness of the bearing support arriving due to COVID-19, the bridge had to be place as is. The bearings were to be here before the bridge arrived.
Due to 3D forming of the steel work, there was no place in NA to do it and why it was done in Netherlands.
When they started to roll the bridge onto the barge, one other end rose 3 feet above the water line.
It only took 20 minutes to turn the bridge 90 degree using 4 bulldozers to pull it in to position
The 4 lane road bridge is due to arrive in the fall and off loaded like the LRT bridge. It will have a wider sidewalk than the LRT.
It was very interesting how the bridge was fabricated, welded and painted as well what issues arose doing it that will make the fabrication of the other bridges a lot easier.
The top centre section was fabricated upside down to deal with the grinding of the wells and then flip for the final assembly and welding.
The various designs looked at for these bridges were interesting and could see why a few were reject day one.
One thing I need to check is the time line for all the bridges as I have heard not one bridge is coming this year, but all 3 of them. This will mean very quick turn around for the barge. I know Cherry St south bridge support are partly in place and should be done Q1. As for Commissioner, I have not looked at it and most likely out of view in the first place.

...the only hope is the Private Sector
