New London, Wisconsin | The Army Corps's biggest crane barge is on its way, and that's a good start. The worlds biggest I am pretty sure is based in the Netherlands. They might need that, and if it's currently available it would take a few weeks to get it to the east coast depending on where it currently is. As a former crane owner I have watched how some REALLY big projects are done and it's quite fascinating.
I personally think pulling out the structural steel in chunks won't be so bad. What is tougher is pulling the road deck off the bottom and removing that from 50 feet down. My guess is they will leave holes to attach rigging where the structural steel is removed and take the roadway in sections by lifting it off the bottom, but not out of the water. The effective weight of what they can lift is far greater if left under water and floated away to either scrap it or dump it in deep water.
The containers are easy, and the trucks too. I hope to see some video to see how they really do it
