Can you tell me if the main cables are coated near the cable? See my previous post. Main cables are coated all the way to the anchorage saddle and then they diverge to numerous eye bars embedded in the concrete anchorage block. The saboteurs could not get to the diverging strands below the saddle. I don't remember we might have filled it all up with concrete.

I saw the Mackanic Bridge building documentary, and I could be wrong on this point, but wasn't there a problem getting to bedrock, and so the concrete anchor blocks are huge?
