      I was fortunate enough to meet Gordy face to face at Prevo's grocery store in Traverse City, Michigan and get his autograph.

      I noticed that yesterday when I was watching the video again. Next time I go I'm going to zoom in on it to get a good look, if its not covered up with roadway already!!

      I liked that too. I didn't notice until I was going through my video when I got home. Next time I go I'll get some good zoomed in video of it if it's not covered with roadway yet. Thanks for watching.

    For anyone wondering, the tree is tradition and is brought up on the last piece of steel.

    Many years ago I was fortunate to sail under the older bridge that connects our two wonderful countries. This latest span demonstrates the latest in bridge construction and is superbly illustrated by the skillful use of drones to further enhance the monumental scale of this iconic and outstanding edifice as it most basic and most entertaining tribute to the creative genius of those responsible for such an immense and gravity defying superstructure.

    Glad to see the other trades at work, pouring the curbs and sidewalks (?), hits off to the carpenters, laboures, rod busters and cement finishers!
    There is still over a years worth of work to be done before opening, well done everyone!!!!

    I don't have family in Michigan anymore, but I still want to make the drive up to see this and cross it when it's done.

    That's one monstrous bridge! I paid a visit to the New River Gorge Bridge in West Virginia a couple of weeks ago and I could not believe how huge it was...this one must be truly epic in person. Very interesting to see it being built. I am looking forward to see the new Key Bridge built here in Baltimore in the future. Won't be as big as this one, but will still be neat to watch it come together.

    Two things that I noticed with this video. First the bridge deck has a huge crown it in just like a regular road. Second is the a 2nd tree was installed and it is a different species, most likely a type that would be seen in northern Canada. As a last note, it appears that there is one last section on the Canadian side that still need a couple of small stiffner ibeams. Time will tell 😊

    Great to see this coming to completion - well at least the superstructure. Did you take any videos of them placing the floor panels at any stage of the build as the last video showed the beams installed but no "floor"?

    • @SteveR59
      @SteveR59 4 місяці тому

      Custom officials are on-site for the U.S. and Canada. Maybe, after the initial clearance of a worker, they are given an ID card so that they don't have to have their passport. Just a guess.
