There is a great deal of activity as the construction team prepare to put the next truss in place. From my observations it seems to take about a week to put one up. The crane truck is dwarfed by the crane.

World Cup Soccer Stadium #2
When one embarks on a project such as this you need some serious equipment to get the job done. This "giant" crane is used to lift the the trusses into place. To get an idea of its size, look at the guy standing at the base of the crane. Yesterday's picture of the stadium shows the crane towering over the structure.

C'est grandiose ... mais je crois que le monde consacre trop d'argent au sport et pas assez pour la vie des gens !

Nice to see things are moving along after all the naysayers going on about how we could NEVER be ready in time...
