The project is a 132-ft.-span pedestrian crossing over the Speed River in Guelph, Ontario, bridging a gap in the city’s trail system. It required extended negotiations with the city, careful concessions to the river’s conservation authority, over a year of planning, a month of construction, hand-raising of the two giant Town lattice trusses, 37 teams cutting and test-joining their custom-fitted roof trusses in three hours, sheathing, decking and roofing the frame, hand-rolling the bridge out over the water to its final pick point for the two cranes (linked by automatic controls) that lifted it in tandem the rest of the way to straddle the river .
