On the left, I included a big gantry crane in the Navy Yard. The bridge in the right background is the I-95 Girard Point Bridge.

  1. This bridge was rehabilitated/rebuilt in the early 2000's by American Bridge. The main span was floated out for rehab, and the tower tops were removed. The towers were then extended and the lift equipment reinstalled on the towers. I don't recall how much of the tower-top machinery and sheaves were rehabilitated and what was replaced.
