Amazing Engineers Move Capilano Bridge in 6 Hours - Part 2

[missfatalefemme]

I see the 'boss' in the yellow t-shirt is leaning against the concrete divider for almost all the daylight move. He did a great job holding it in place. LOL

They're getting ready to do this all the way across the Ohio River at Madison, IN. But they're replacing the existing bridge & re-using the piers. . . I don't know. . .

@hypercarbon to build a new bridge

[mandienmike]

The actual move was done by Neelco. Buckland & Taylor came up with the design and the concept as well as monitoring the move.

Cool vid. I went across the moved bridge yesterday on the bus

How was it moved?

[bulletproofcourier]

@bloodshot16 They spent weeks preparing a giant sliding rail system along the short path they needed the bridge to travel.
