The Gordie Howe International Bridge is a significant infrastructure project connecting Detroit, Michigan, in the United States, with Windsor, Ontario, in Canada, spanning the Detroit River.
It's named after Gordie Howe, a legendary Canadian ice hockey player who spent much of his career with the Detroit Red Wings in the NHL.
The bridge aims to alleviate traffic congestion, enhance international trade, and strengthen economic ties between the United States and Canada. Construction of the bridge began in 2018, and once completed, it will provide an essential link between two major North American cities.

@christopherludlow3106 4 месяца назад

@@michaelanthonyvideos they probably keep it close as they build from the pylons, but the bridge probably moves around quite a bit during construction due to dynamic loading of the structure and probably a good amount of thermal expansion/contraction throughout the day as the bridge heats/cools.

@thinkbeforyouvote 4 месяца назад

The heights of each side are dictated, right now, by tension. There is no need for them to be the same height right now. Pulling one side tighter will raise the deck. For those who keep asking why one side is higher. In short, it doesn't matter right now. It's more important that their centers line up.

@raymason5779 4 месяца назад

I’m so impressed with the standard of work that’s being achieved but I’m equally totally bemused that they have to wait until the two sides are nearly together before they start levelling them up. Surely with all the technology available they could have made appropriate levelling corrections as they moved closer to the tie up.

@bobw5970 4 месяца назад

I agree totally @raymason5779. Very strange as to why there is such a height difference when the ends are so close to being joined.

@happyhome41 4 месяца назад

Beautiful imagery/editing and moving audio accompaniment. Maybe after the excitement of closing the gap has subsided, you could make a composite video showing the installation from start to finish of one stay ? Appears they have four more to install, in case you don’t have sufficient video already.
