We struggled putting in the diaphragms (the braces in between the beams), so we only got four of the five set in place today. We will put the 5th girder in tomorrow. The curved plate girders are 125’ long and weigh about 35,000 lbs each. The bigger cranes placing the beams are 100 ton cranes. The smaller crane (hydraulic) is a 60 ton crane.
