Crane Video: Two Bridges Constructed on 45-Degree Angle

August 10, 2016 - Wright Brothers Construction Co. Inc., Charleston, Tenn., was awarded a $15.8 million contract to build a set of north and southbound bridges 1,110 ft. long for a by-pass running from U.S. Highway 43 to Highway 179, in northwest Alabama.

The main challenge of the project was constructing the two bridges on a 45 degree skew, 120 ft. (36.6 m) in the air over a tributary of the Big Bear Lake Reservoir in Phil Campbell, Alabama.
