The process of laying the elongated bridge commences with the same procedure as for the 26-metre Leguan, except that the two original ramp sections are not joined together : they are left disconnected so that the hydraulic system launches just one section across the gap to act as a ramp, leaving a space in each trackway into which one pair of the eight-metre box sections can be lowered by the hydraulic crane of the carrier. 1, record 1, English, - elongated%20bridge
