Another interesting project I was involved with was replacing a bascule bridge in Long Beach NY for the LIRR

A barge was positioned under the lift span, and jacks and cribbing were brought to bear (At low tide)

When the tide came in the the span was cut loose and tugs took the span away..... The new span was installed in a similar fashion
