Heart of old bridge taken down
What La Presse calls the heart of the old Champlain bridge was taken down very carefully overnight and will be floated over to be dismantled in Brossard next spring. It’s the largest-scale move of the kind ever done in Canada. Good pics from the Journal.

It’s pretty amazing. There’s this huge counter weight sitting on the super structure keeping everything in place while they strip out the metal.
