Views from the I-5 Willamette River Bridge project

From ODOT- I thought it would be nice to share with you some of the lesser seen sights around the bridge project. I particularly like the icicles hanging from the falsework for the new bridge arches. ODOT and its contractors work in all kinds of weather to get the job done.




A squirrel explores along the new sound wall near the Laurel Hill Valley nieghoborhood that helps protect nearby homes from freeway noise.



A worker in a basket crane puts final touches on teh columns that will support the I-5 southbound bridge.



A steelworker guides one of the temporary beams inot place that are used to build thenew birdges over the Union Pacific Railroad tracks at the south end of the project. Note that he's wearing a special harness attached to the steel beam that protects him in case of a fall.
