Deck construction was carried out by erecting pre-cast concrete shell segments, with the 3.5m long and 13.1m wide trough units acting as a shutter, which were then filled with in-situ concrete forming the soffit. The segments were glued to each other using weber.tec EP Structural Adhesive.
Each section was match-cast off site. Stays were installed as the deck proceeded, thus eliminating the need for temporary supports interfering with the road below. Each of the 52 cable stays contain between 19 and 37 galvanised strands and are fixed by galvanised steel guides to the pylon and into a reinforced concrete anchor block on the backspan.
