Webcam pic from today:
Weird how the perspective makes the 4 cables in the middle look like 2 cables (i.e. in the pic, east side has 6 cables, west side has 5 cables)  Uploaded with ImageShack.us The other cables are also [temporarily] being held by wires.  Uploaded with ImageShack.us

I think the angle of the shot makes it look worse than it actually is. They do have a little room to work with before they run into residential areas beside the highway.

So the cables have been brought down to what looks like their finished positions.
Not sure how it was done, but they look like they should look. Webcam pics from today:  Uploaded with ImageShack.us  Uploaded with ImageShack.us  Uploaded with ImageShack.us

First cables are up on the north tower. It's looking more like a bridge now...
Here's a webcam shot:  Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Even two years ago, the east-west traffic on transCanada highway and over this bridge was really bad. It took us awhile to reach the downtown.

The bridge is massive and serves a purpose, but its crude in design. The attention to detail is lacking

Am hoping there is also lots of public transportation developments in order for car traffic to not get out of control!

Launching trusses have been erected on the bridge deck of the north tower of the bridge
(for construction over the water, whereas they hoist materials up from below on the landlocked south tower side). Webcam pics from today:  Uploaded with ImageShack.us  Uploaded with ImageShack.us  Uploaded with ImageShack.us
