Building a Bridge at The Ridge on Williams Creek

The steps include setting the first and second sections into place, placing the third section and the head walls, and sealing and grouting the sections and foundations together. Finally, the workers took a break for a beer after completing the hard work.

“First bridge section being set into place.”

“Section #2 going in.”

“Third section, and then the head-walls. Each section weighs 18 tons, the head walls are 7 tons apiece.”

“Sealing and grouting the sections together, and to the foundations.”

“Whew, time for a beer.”
