Pictured above is a custom built crane barge called the Left Coast Lifter. It was originally built to assist in the construction of the Bay Bridge East Span replacement connecting Oakland, California and San Francisco, California. The Bay Bridge East span project was completed in September 2013 and the Left Coast Lifter was transported via the Panama Canal to New York State for use on the replacement Tappan Zee Bridge project over the Hudson River.
