The bridge has finally started to go vertical, or at least horizontal! With lots of fabrication phases being completed the bridge is starting to take shape. Joints are near completion of welding and have started getting holes drilled through them to connect to the members. The pieces have all finished being ground down and cleaned up and allowed for easy access from the member to the joints.
Once all the holes are drilled the bridge can finally be securely connected with nuts and bolts. The plan for the project is to weld on nuts to speed up construction time and make connecting the joints and members much easier.
The next phases in the project is to finish up the cross-bracing for the bridge, complete the footing, and add the decking support structure once the cross bracing is finished.
The bridge will finally be standing complete in the next week or two!
