I was always wondering how they're going to take down the main span of the old bridge. Taking it apart piece by piece would be very difficult and dropping it into the water with explosives risky as it's so close to the new bridge.

Driving by today I spotted something interesting. They have attached plates to the top of the main span arch with mounts for a shackle/ pin. I think they're going to lift the while damn span off in one go, maybe using one of those huge barge cranes. Unless anyone else knows (or can think of) why they have attached what appear to be lifting points.
