The 130 ton arch is supported by two concrete columns. During the week of July 5th, the steel forms were removed, revealing the cement inside.
The pieces of steel forms are stacked on site and then sent off to be used on another job.
Follow the construction of the first royal chinese arch in Canada. It is being built over Somerset Street just a few doors west of Bronson during the summer of 2010.
Do you know much weight are those skinny cement columns holding up? It all seems to defy gravity.
