From 2015 we could see how a railway bridge was build at the right hand side of this road. Piece by piece you could see it growing higher and higher. A few weeks ago the bridge was finally finished and had to be placed at its destination.
A huge operation was prepared to move this 255 meters long, 17 meters wide and 50 meters high bridge. During the night all the traffic and trains were blocked and the bridge moved cm to cm on little wheels to the right place. This weekend we drove for the first time by car under the bridge.
Watch this video about building and placing the bridge.

Um abraço e continuação de uma boa semana.
What a fabulous design for a bridge. Engineers are just so clever. Interesting we both chose bridges for our posts today.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenPretty bridge. We have a similar one here in Ft. Worth, Texas. interesting how they delivered it.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI love to watch construction, whether a big bridge or a new house. Exciting.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenDearest Marianne,
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThat was again an example of engineering at its very best! It worked out very well for completing it during the night.
Thanks for sharing!
Hugs,
Mariette
Fascinating. Seems it would be easier to build on site and reroute traffic for a time. But I'm not engineer so what do I know...zip.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenIt is a great looking bridge!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenEcht een gigantisch project.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenA graceful looking bridge.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenBuilding the bridge and the moving it into place. That is an amazing feat.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenAmazing !!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThat's a major engineering event. Beautiful bridge.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenInteresting documentation of how the bridge was constructed. It was so close to the road below it.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenHave an amazing week ahead!

BeantwoordenVerwijderenI couldn't understand a word the gentleman said, but loved watching the video. It was really cool..a one of a kinder as I would call it. Thanks for not giving up on me these past weeks. I am starting to get back to commenting. Have missed you all.
