00:05Engineers slide massive concrete highway bridges in just 48 hours flat.
00:11Workers build the multi-million pound structure directly beside the busy freeway on temporary steel support towers.
00:18When traffic shuts down, crews blast out the old roadway and position heavy hydraulic strand jacks underneath.
00:25Computer sensors monitor pressure across dozens of synchronized cylinders to prevent the massive span from cracking.
00:32The multi-million pound deck glides forward on Teflon pads over polished steel tracks into final permanent alignment.
00:40Hydraulic pistons exert synchronized pressure, pushing the heavy structure smoothly across temporary support rails.
00:47Any age, any background, same opportunity, sell, earn, repeat.
