A rare look inside the box girder; the individual pier segments are different shades
On the south side of the river, both bridge piers are complete and work on the super structure is underway.
The first pier segment is curing under the hoarding tarps on the pier closest to the river 
The temporary steel supports around the southernmost pier provide a table to form the first pier segment
Underground Utilities
Building a major infrastructure project involves coordination with multiple utilities to relocate their existing infrastructure out of the highway right-of-way so that future access will have minimal impact on highway traffic.
Here’s a look at a few of the underground utilities in the South project area.
