Assembling the cranes

Crews will use three, 500-ton cranes to hoist girders into place over I-5. The cranes are so large they are delivered in pieces and assembled on site. The size of the crane gives a little perspective to the scale of the upcoming construction work. We’ll use three of these monster cranes to install the 175,000 lb. girders over I-5.

 

I-5 will be closed in Vancouver from 11 p.m. Friday, June 7, to 5 a.m. Monday, June 10. www.wsdot.wa.gov/Projects/I5/ne134thi205/_I5Closure.htm
