kjfitz's picture The major construction of the "skyway" portion (fixed bridge portion) is done as of the end of 2007. The only remaining part is the suspension section which will hang from a 525 fott tall tower. That part won't be done until 2012. This article has liots of interesting descriptions of the construction:
