An 800-ton crane groaned as it lifted a 165-foot-long pedestrian bridge into place across the South Fork River in Cramerton on Tuesday.
The 12-foot-wide, 90,000-pound, prefabricated span connects the eastern Gaston County town’s central business district with a public park on the 30-acre Goat Island.
The bridge is part of a $1.5Â million, phase two park development that includes an 18-hole disc golf course, permanent cornhole and pingpong facilities, exercise pavilion, new playground equipment, observation pier and dog park.
