Top upscaling.

For a sense of scale. At the bottom of each pier, on either side of the yellow prop, those are two full-sized cherry pickers on the roof. Which is itself about 30m off the ground.

Basically, it is some height!

Those towers are going to be handling some load - both old and new roof!

Yeah although old roof will eventually go and a lot of the load is shared by the temporary props in the meantime. The cable though still has to remain tight throughout, which as you say is all back to the towers.
 
It's good one. :-)

Close up pictures of one of the steel legs currently on the ground outside the construction site waiting to be lifted into place.

I'll post the pictures later on this Afternoon.

Two down, with 6 more to go, I hope for their sake CP or SS catch one of the 6 being installed. And then the capping pieces. Big milestone, when those are done.

They'll them have to crane the cherry pickers off the top of the roof through the quadpod legs.

The orange straps are on the one on the ground, so I would assume it's being lifted tomorrow (morning?)

When all 4 are on, the little pyramid connection topper will be fun to see go on. Like putting a star on a christmas tree ;)

It's going to look superb and keep the very iconic look of the stadium.

Will the cherry pickers be put back when the new cables are Being installed ??

Do we know much about the capping pieces? Surely they can't be lifted in one assembled piece and be expected to marry up to the 4 piers underneath perfectly?

That's what I think, yeah. Like a star on a christmas tree :).

Wonder if they'll have the attachments for the new cables already on the piece.
