First, you have to demo the old one....





This shot was taken by me, 30 feet from my house's front door. (I live on a creek fed from a lake) I've got 5 weeks of shots from start to finish....great project!

A 39m truss is about 100'

How many lanes wide?

Definitely need a detailed engineered drawing even to determine a price.
