The plan is to construct the bridge upside down on staging and then roll it to set the queen posts and truss rods. While this is going on, the ground work concrete center piece and outer ring will be built. When the bridge is as far along as it can be built on the blocks a crane will place it on the center bearing / spider wheels. All this will take several months.

BTW - We've heard a member call our bridge stringers "Texas Toothpicks"
