Hi folks - thought I ought to drop a note and clarify that tomorrow, during the delay between the two loads of timber glulam members, the crane which will be there to unload the heavy timbers, will set the temporary steel work over the river that will be used to support the roll-in of the bridge back into position. The steel will be removed afterwards and is not permanent. Please help us get the word out so that we can derail any concerns about it.

Thanks,
Phil

Hi folks - just a quick update. The glue-lam members are being shipped on Thursday - first load should get to the bridge by mid-morning. A second load by mid-day.

The members, being only 130 feet this time, are apparently not a real big deal to haul, yet I plan on following along just for fun.

Work continues. I will send Joe some updated photos shortly for the web site.
