Does anyone know how tall the columns are that hold the cables in place. i.e. distance from the roadbed to the flashing light on top?
I don't know if I have done it right, but I tried to enclose a great picture of the new Greenvillle,MS bridge that crosses the Mississippi river into Arkansas. I hope it downloads for you and that you can use it.
Great work on this site. I noticed that the contractors who built the new Greenville Bridge were listed as Traylor Brothers alone. It actually was:
1) Massman/Traylor a Joint Venture built the three span cable stayed portion.
2) Hill Brothers and Jensen Construction built the Mississippi Approach.
3) Austin Bridge & Road built the Arkansas Approach
The main span of this bridge was built by "Massman-Traylor, a joint venture", the Arkansas approach built by "Austin Bridge Co.", and the Mississippi approach was built by "Hill Brothers (dirt work)" and "Jansen Construction (bridge work)". I was an engineer on the main span.

In 2017 You still come off the bridge eastbound and have to make a curve that is generously allotted 35 MPH back into the old road. The straight direction would go to a Greenville freeway bypass that has some dirt work done and little more.
