               Workers raising the beam with bottle jacks

The bridge construction in Angono, Rizal has resumed and the current beam is to be raised 0.50 meter higher.  The office of the mayor has announced that it has intervened that the bridge construction be modified.

The alteration has been done to accommodate the numerous "experts" comment the much thicker beam will block the river and cause instant flooding.

Believe it or not, the beams will be raised one end after one another by mere two ordinary bottle jacks, each one with rated capacity of 25 tons.

Thank you mayor Gerry for the intervention.

                     Each jack's capacity is 25 tons, I am worried with the platform where the jack steps on...!

                    The beams are higher than the street level
