Leaving from the Cradle

View of the work shown in "Lifting up the 6000t Truss Box" again, but from different angle.

 

The three largest floating cranes in Japan are lifting a 6000t bridge beam and moving backward (or forward? I do not know which side is the front of a floating crane).

 

After they move about 100m, a barge is going to be tagged under the beam, then, they can put it down on the barge.

 

At the edge of the picture is the base on which the bridge beam has been constructed.
