The bridge launch is underway and the main truss of the bridge is slowly being pulled into place toward the west abutment. The launch began at the end of last week and is expected to take 12–14 days to complete.
Space between the west abutment and the rocky cliffs is limited, so after each incremental movement, part of the west end of the launch truss is disassembled and removed to make room for the remaining launch truss to continue moving west.
