"Arrival of Trusses by Barge Marks Milestone for Notre Dame's New Roof"

Trusses made from old oak beams have arrived by barge at Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris for the reconstruction of its roof, which was destroyed in a fire in 2019. The wooden triangles, weighing seven tonnes each, will be fitted together like a giant puzzle over the next two months. The reconstruction of the cathedral's wooden structure, known as "la forêt," is a symbolic step in the cathedral's rebirth. The 96-meter-high spire is also being reconstructed as it was, allaying fears of modern additions. The area around the cathedral is being redesigned by a landscape architect, with the cost being financed by Paris City Hall.
