No center support column. Concrete, even reinforced concrete, needs that support over that length.

Somebody is going to be so sued.

I was checking photos and it appears the span was over 100’.
The center column was next to the canal. The base was there, but not the upright with the support cables. It was built in 6 days and installed on Saturday. It appears to be a flat slab about 6” thick and approximately 20’ wide. I guess they thought the center truss supporting the roof would handle the load, guess they were wrong.
