  • This is the fabrication of suspension bridge saddles to be used in the massive construction project to replace the eastern span of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge. This took place at Japan Steel Works in Muroran, Japan. In this view workers are preparing the molding for the W-line component of the East Saddle in the foundry shop of JSW on October 14, 2008. Two days later tons of hot molten steel was poured into this mold to make the cast. Photo by Torin Boyd.
