Crap!!! I saw your post at 9:05. I work on bridges. I would have like to have watched that one. I'm sure it will be repeated.

I do know some guys who worked on the design.

I think it was on Modern Marvels. In one day the bridge can expand/contract 5 feet!

The bridge was also featured in "Dirty Jobs" with Mike Rowe.
