Erection of Deck Segments for the North and South
Transition Spans:
Temporary supports and girders were erected between
the side span pier and the transition span pier. A
temporary skidding system was installed to move
segments along the temporary staging into position.
Erection of the transition spans was accomplished using a
floating crane with 1200t lifting capacity, namely
“TAKLIFT 7”, and then skidding the deck sections into
place using hydraulic jacks.
