View from the north! It's really starting to look like a bridge.

The water source for last week's sprinklers... perhaps they'll pour the sidewalks tomorrow and need to turn on the hydrant again?

7/14/10 5:15pm

Rebar for the sidewalks, which will be higher than the road surface.

The bridge, sans burlap! That 14' sidewalk on the west side seems like plenty of room for bikes, dogwalkers and strollers to share space.

It's a foggy start to the day, but the guys are out on the bridge doing their thing this morning.

The deck has remained moist thanks to the rain today. And yes, they did turn off the sprinklers.

Yesterday PCI poured concrete across the whole deck of the bridge. It's now covered in burlap, and sprinklers will be running for about three days to keep the concrete moist, presumably to ensure proper curing.

There is still a large gap on the south side between the roadway and the new deck, so no sneaking through yet.

They are removing dirt today from the southwest corner, using it to fill in the ditch on the east side of the road just south of Kennelworth Court. The cat loaded the side-dump truck, then used the bucket to help push the dump truck up the hill and on to the road. Teamwork! Once they get the dirt cleared out, they will put in large rock to solidify the bank.

Let the pouring begin! The concrete trucks are on the NW corner, and there's a big pipe stretched across to the SE corner. They started around 6 am, and have a beautiful day to be out there. Progress!

7/8/10 1pm

The yellow metal thing across the bridge is, I believe, for smoothing the concrete. Look for pouring to start tomorrow (maybe?).

7/7/10 noon

Lunch break time...

Heard 34th street is down to 1 lane today... might be a good day to consider alternate routes.

It's not going to be green much longer... Progress!
