M9, 50mm Summicron The Main cables are now being strung. Soon the vertical cables will be installed and tuned. After the cables are fully supporting the giant white roadway, the rust-colored framework below will be dismantled.

 

The presently-used bridge, to the left, is too rigid to withstand bigger earthquakes. Thanks for taking a look.

Very good composition. What is going to happen to the old bridge?

Paul, Bernhard, Herbert, Turner, thank you! The old bridge will be dismantled with torches, wrenches, cranes, etc. and put on barges. Blasting was not an option due to environmental concerns. I think most of the metal will go overseas for recycling. Future Kia cars and trucks.
