Downtown, looking west. The south (left) and north (right) approaches are at the bottom of the picture.
Daily Digital has been covering the progress, with photos and weekly updates of the various engineering and fabrication accomplishments.
What’s even more amazing, rebuilding work started immediately after the last car settled at the bottom of the river. Bickering over design, cost and contract award did not seem to delay reconstruction effort. I am very impressed by the engineering – precast sections are brought in and added to the span at the site. Very much like lego – really cool.
