Erection of the main cable for the self-anchored suspension span of the new San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge began at the end of last year.
The cable pulling operation is particularly complex because of the fact that it is only anchored at one end of the bridge, and has to be correctly placed not only in the saddles on top of the tower, but also into the large saddle at the other end of the span.
