The critical pour is the deck on top, which is a staggering two metres thick. The temperature must be at 10C for at least a week for the concrete to properly set.

Frankly I'm glad they're doing this - temperatures at night could dip below 10C well into May/June - if this thing doesn't set properly the bridge might someday collapse when a train passes over - and then hear everyone howl "how could this happen!?!? What kind of morons built this thing!?!?" At least this way we know temperatures are regulated and structure is safe and sound for years to come.
