Approximately seven and a half hours it will take until the first big piece from the Western to the remaining part of the Bridge is brought to the ground. With naked eyes today will be hard to detect that the 800 tonnes of heavy part of moving.

On paper you can say something quickly, but then there is over time always problems. I can only hope that you create with the new bridge relatively quickly, and especially so reasonable that you will not be more collapses."
