January 8, 2005: Bridging the Channel Gap
Big progress this
week. On the west platform the LAST (16th) edge girders are in place
(if I counted correctly), while on the east platform, the cable bundles
have been built and floor girders erected and attached to the edge
girders that were in place last week.
Here are views of the "gap" from the old bridge - looking east
Looking west (click on the photo and look for the two anchored barges
with the last two pairs of edge girders and associated floor girders)
