• A new, three-mile-long Howard Frankland Bridge is being constructed over Tampa Bay, alongside the famous-yet-flawed original span.
• Over 20 Manitowoc crawler cranes are currently being used to drive sheet and piles and build columns and set beams and decks. The cranes were adapted for use in the marine environment in partnership with the manufacturer and dealers Walter Payton Power Equipment and Ring Power Crane.
• The bridge’s design and construction are a joint venture between Archer Western Construction LLC, part of The Walsh Group, and Traylor Bros. Inc.
