Steel erectors span busy river on limited falsework
Falsework limitations in spanning Cuyahoga River, Cleveland, Ohio, compelled builders of two types of steel bridges to resort to cantilever schemes of erection; bottom chords of lift span trusses, 216 ft. long, weighing 19 tons each, riveted on ground and raised in one piece; three trusses of railroad bridge cantilevered 180 ft. to temporary timber bent by anchoring top chords to deck trusses in rear.
