Transport required the use of a temporary bridge to span the existing wooden bridges for loads heavier than 44 Tonnes. This was achieved by using the 917 series tank transporter with special self loading and unloading legs. The bridge has a 14.5m span inside to inside and 3.6m wide opening.
The operating photos for the bridge are shown below
