Watching it live now. Unfortunately, the guys doing the YouTube commentary, seem to have lost interest. Once it got difficult, they stopped talking. Maybe afraid they would say something unfortunate. The abutments were clearly just a bit to high for the jacks. They had to lay boards down on the road, to get extra height. The video director obviously had no idea what to focus on. Lowering it down onto the bolts, took a long time. Very carefully done.
I noticed that the safety harness for the guys sat on the abutments, was actually attached to the bridge. So if they did fall off, they would be hanging under the bridge. All done with only inches to spare.
Nice to see, but the TV production was weak. Good use of drones, through.
