Disassembly

Preparation works:

• 

• First the cable winds are are taken out of the storage local and fixed at the uphill track. Then the cables are rolled off and looped into the tackles.

• 

• At the end of the upper part of the bridge a crane bock is fixed, carrying the tackles for the lowering of the middle part of the bridge. For this operation the crane wagon is needed.
