The TZ Bridge has 8 floating caissons. The main span. A 2,416-ft-long through truss comprises a 1,212-ft-long center span flanked by two 602-ft-long side anchor spans. Its piers are composed of steel truss towers set on buoyant reinforced concrete caissons, which are supported on vertical piles. Pumps are used to maintain the buoyancy of the caissons.
