The topic was the central tower. The prefabricated spans needed space to be swung into place and the tower would interfere with those operations.

Thus, it is constructed after the spans are in place and properly tensioned

Doesn’t make sense.

Long spans are usually done with two cranes, so there isn’t much swinging possible anyway. Pre-positioned winches do the work of actual positioning.
