Contact!


Sunday very early in the morning the contractor started the final stage of the stressing process of the cables. This night cars were not allowed on the bridge, so proper measurements could be made and the contact with the existing bridge could be made without vibrations caused by trafic.

At 6 in the morning there was enough force in the cables and traffic could return. The stressing is not ready yet. This night the bridge was lifted only 8 cm, which means another 40 cm will follow. This last part however can be done while traffic is using the bridge.
