When constructing this type the bridge is brought out from each tower, carefully maintaining balance until the anchorage at each extreme end is reached. There will still remain a central gap which is usually filled by lifting a prefabricated truss into position.
This particular structure is not believed capable of withstanding a likely future large earthquake and so a more modern structure has been built to replace this portion.
