West Pylon
Note the extension beams with attached anchors on the westward extension
of the platform ready to receive the cross members (white beams
on the barge anchored to the left of the base of the west pylon). Also
note the two stacks of cement blocks (I think its ballast to balance the
weight of the westward directed platform) on the eastward directed
platform. Click to see a view of the
ballast from the old bridge

East Pylon
The cross beam can be clearly seen here, in preparation for adding
the next set of cable anchors and platform extension beams. Each
extension beam has an attached anchor prior
(see barge photo). The
gray squares along the length of the platform are the splices between
extension segments.
