Bridge workers will connect the other end of the footbridge rope to the other anchorage, and hoist it to the top of the towers. They will repeat this process until the cables for the footbridge are safely and securely in place. Afterwards the work crews will affix the footbridge sections to the cables. Experienced Bridge builders and Engineers shift into high gear to begin preparations for the spinning on the wire rope cable for the bridge's main span. Like a spider spinning its web, experts will create the wire rope cables and connect the strands from one anchorage to the other.
Precision is the key as the bridge builders link the strands to the anchorages.
An adjustment, here and an adjustment there, and the cables are set in place. Squeezing gangs begin the work of compacting the strands into a perfect cylinder of cable. Work crews dismantle the footbridge and its cable. Skilled workers install the cable bands on the completed main cables. Stringers weave the suspenders from the cables.
