<div id="p7ssm_description" style="display: block;"><strong>Maryland Approach Spans</strong><br /> View looking west (from the top of a v-pier) at the construction of the Maryland Approach Contract. This work from the Maryland shoreline to the new draw span is part of the largest single MSHA Contract ever awarded ($191M). The segments were manufactured in the casting yard near the Maryland shoreline and barged out to the Potomac River for placement on site. There are four v-pier supports being built (two for each bridge). <hr /> Note: The workers in the background are in the process of placing a segment . <hr /> <em>Photo Credit: PCC</em></div>

The falsework steel structure which is used to support the structure until the concrete tie-beams are placed across the v-pier sections. This falsework will support the future western portion of the inner-loop construction. <hr /> <em>Photo Credit: PCC</em></div>
<div id="p7ssm_description" style="display: block;"><strong>Bascule Span</strong><br /> View looking north at the construction of the bascule (drawspan) Maryland portion. The blue derrick crane in the foreground is 265 feet tall and was originally built in the 1940's, brought on-site via tractor trailers and assembled in Jones Point Park. The platform crane in the background is 285 feet tall. The Project had to coordinate with the Federal Aviation Administration because of the crane heights and their proximity to Reagan National Airport. <hr /> <em>Photo Credit: PCC</em></div>
