Gordy Howe International Bridge on May 7, 2024. Detroit, Michigan 4K drone video.
Stay cables are anchored to pylons or towers and support the weight of the deck by transmitting the load to the towers. The design of these cables involves considerations such as material selection, length, diameter, and arrangement. They are typically made of high-strength steel and arranged in a fan-like pattern to evenly distribute the load.

Never forget the Gordie Howe hat trick. One goal, one assist and one fight.

Did you hear about the time that Wayne Gretzky took the puck away from Gordie Howe at a scrimmage match ? He was politely told to never do that again.
I love watching them work so hard to put this beautiful bridge up!!! Gordie Howe would be so proud!!!! 💪💪💪💪.....

Couldn't agree more. I'm also very happy that there is no corporate naming rights deal with it. Naming rights are a pox no matter where they are.

I think I heard in an interview somewhere that the final piece of bridge is a cheat piece? That is its designed to be adjusted in size to the exact length of the remaining small gap before being put in place as this couldn't be precisely known in advance given manufacturing tolerances, thermal expansion etc. That would be interesting to see!

Yes, I'm interested in the details perhaps the final span will actually be three Two fixed. and a slider in between.
Those workers standing on platforms at the top of the towers make me feel dizzy! Wow that is not a job I would want to do - full respect guys!👍 Interesting to see this part of the cable installation process. Thanks for sharing.

And that was only the installation of the first cable in what will eventually become around 130 or so on each of the cable supports on each side from both ends It does take some time to do all of that cabling but I can still see it being fully connected by July 1 even though there will still be cable to run it will be connected. I am wondering if they will call it connected when the last steel beam to the total structure is connected or are they going to wait until it is truly connected without any gaps in the surface of the bridge?
@JoeLinux2000

I'm saying it is connected when one piece is connected between the two spans.

They put one of the cables thru the plastic pipe and haul it up to the top. They secure and tension this cable. They then put in the remaining 129 cables and tension them, one or two at a time 30,000 LBS a/per cable. The farther out they go, the more cables required. It takes some time

I suspect the US side sets their cable necessary section, complete the cement work to move their crane forward, and then both attach to the ceremonial section. Being it's a Canadian led project, it also would be appropriate if that crew alone set the beam solo.

I thought that was just to funny. I am surprised that they were using a fully manual winch system . In the 21’st century a motorized winch with a load meter ?
