If you’ve passed by the project lately, you may have noticed crews removing a lot of steel and wood falsework from the bridge structures. With box girders south of Franklin Boulevard complete the arches are now able to stand on their own. As the materials are removed, the striking northbound bridge is becoming more and more visible.

Constructing falsework requires attention to detail, and removing it is no different. While being careful of other workers on the site below, crews work overhead to disassemble and lower the materials to the ground before moving them to storage areas.

The contractor preserves as much of the falsework material as possible, storing it so that it can be reused or repurposed for future projects. The material in these pictures was used on the southbound Whilmut Passage Bridge and will be reused many times before it’s disposed of or recycled.
During the next month crews will continue to remove the falsework. When this stage is complete, crews will move to the next phase of pouring bridge supports: pouring the box girders that will close the span over Franklin Boulevard, reaching to the southernmost arch.
