CONSTRUCTION EXPERTISE
Our team constructed two 120-foot spans of the bridge on the ground and then craned them into place. This feat required our crew and crane operators to place the bridge into the correct spot perfectly so that the bridge would be properly aligned – there was no tolerance for error.
Sourcing the quantity of black locust was an additional challenge because black locust is typically not readily available.
