Center Crane Vanishes

THE CENTER CRANE IS COMPLETELY GONE = NEW DUVAL COUNTY COURTHOUSE

It is amazing to me that something so tall and large could just disappeer but that is what has happened to the center crane.  After just 11 months and 14 days, the center crane at the New Duval County Courthouse site is gone.

IT TAKES A CRANE

What is interesting is that it takes a crane to assemble or disassemble a crane. It is a dead giveaway when a large yellow crane appears on the construction site. Its sole purpose is to assemble, move or disassemble the large stationary cranes.

Since construction began, the base of the center crane was one of the first visible signs of progress. Then the building began upward motion.

Again, good job!

FIRST PIECE OF CRANE ON CONSTRUCTION SITE.

Beginning with a tiny base on August 4, 2009, the stationary crane was assembled and used to construct over 50 percent of the Duval County Courthouse.
