Bay Bridge gets a whopping crane
A massive shear leg crane mounted on a barge passed under the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge Thursday, March 12, 2009. The barge measures 400 by 100 feet and was custom built in Portland Ore. The barge was outfitted with the massive six story high crane dubbed the Left Coast Lifter in Shanghai China, then ferried across the Pacific aboad the 750-foot-long partially submersible ship Zhen Hua 22. The crane will later be used to erect the signature 525-foot bridge tower. (Lance Iversen / The Chronicle)
