With the competition not that far away the team has kicked it into high gear!
With all the members finally cut and ground down, the joints cut, welded, and ground down as well it was time for the bolt holes to be cut and bolts to be placed. With most of the holes and bolts finished the team will be moving into completing the cross bracing as well as making the footing connection. Once these few items are complete the bridge will be a finished product.
The bolts used on the bridge are special bolts that allow quicker rotation when being placed during the construction time as no power tools are allowed. The nuts will also be welded to the bridge to ease the bolt connections as well as running time for the "crane".
Here's to having a finished bridge in the next few days!
