Yes, I echo vanguard's comments - who knew there was so much to building a bridge!

The photos really bring the process to life and I feel they could be used like an IKEA instruction manual should I ever build one myself. 😀

Yes, thanks again, but looking at image 2950, I wonder if the new bridge is high enough!

[Beemer]

Ron, the steel work on the machine is lower that the concrete will be on the finished bridge but it will be interesting when they start to actually cross the bridge in a month or so. Regards Beemer.
