Crews began setting beams Monday for the new Clarks Bridge over Lake Lanier in Gainesville and will continue today and Wednesday, weather permitting. Each beam is about 136 feet long, 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighs about 70 tons. Workers plan to set five beams daily, starting work about 9 a.m. and continuing most of the day.
