The time lapse video shows the successful erection of formwork for the final straddle bent support structure, which will span the full width of eastbound S.R. 836. The formwork measures 134 feet long and weighs approximately 266,000 pounds. The operation required two heavy-lift cranes and the delivery of approximately 26 truckloads of limerock to construct a temporary crane pad. Once the work was complete, the material was removed, the roadway was cleaned, and all lanes were reopened to traffic. The next step in constructing the straddle bent will involve assembling and installing a reinforcing steel cage in preparation for the concrete pour.
