The final placement has been completed on the upper part of the Penobscot River Crossing’s Verona Island pylon, bringing the tower section to its finished height of 131.32m. "Topping out the Verona upper pylon is an important milestone in this project," said project manager Tom Doe. Once the roof is added, the pylon will reach more than 136m. Work on the pylons will soon be halted until the weather warms up in spring. In the meantime, construction efforts will focus on the roadway sections connecting the bridge to the shores and heading towards the middle of the river. Crews will also work on the abutments, both of which are due for completion by early May.
