With the steel beams each ranging in weight between 50 and 70 tonnes, a specialist crane had to be constructed at the site to lift them into place.

The Liebherr crawler crane is capable of carrying up to 350 tonnes and was brought to Cornwall on 13 articulated lorries.

Each bridge takes around a week and a half to two weeks to install with the crawler crane taking on the heavy beam lifting work and smaller cranes lifting the deck slabs and precast concrete parapets.
