Building the east approach 13th cable bundle -
cable rig is now in place and disassembly of the west approach crane.
The counterweights have been removed from the west platform now that it
is attached to the west approach. You can see the counterweights on the
east platform (channel side, left) which will be removed once the east
platform is attached to the east approach. In addition, the hurricane
cables have been removed from the west deck.
