How to assemble a girder bridge in under 54 hours! | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Here is a time lapse video of assembly of a girder bridge in Milwaukee. They had the freeway shut down all weekend to erect it!

They are rebuilding the Zoo interchange, Highway 45 and 94 and are installing the new railroad bridges over the freeway.

It is UP track and just moving it over about 75'. In the back ground you can see the old trestle which will be coming down.

The old bridge was built over 100 years ago, which crossed an old branch line of the Milwaukee Road, which is now a bike path!

Enjoy!

Wow. Clearly a well-planned construction, well managed. Someone deserves a bonus for all that hard work.

Here is a video of a new bridge put up for the South Shore Line. My Sister-in-law designed the bridge.
