So I’ve come to learn from a couple of sources that Roxanne (the crane) isn’t going to swoop in and lift out the bridge section by section as I had imagined. Apparently, her main job is to stabilize one end of the bridge while they start taking it apart at the other end. The bridge is pretty skeletal now. The work is very noisy these last couple of days — difficult for some of the writers. I am thankful to have my headphones/music.
Here are some pictures of the bridge work, which of course you find as fascinating as I do.
