Pylons

• Each pylon tower rises over 600 feet above the river, with a column that tapers as it ascends . • The lower tower sections include over 4,300 cubic

yards (≈8,600 tons) of reinforced concrete for strength and stability.

• The towers are connected by two concrete cross- beams (each 20' x 20' and 95 feet long ): the lower bean is solid , and the upper beam is hollow with 2-foot-thick walls . • Each pylon tower is constructed in 31 concrete lifts , each 15–20 feet tall.
