Just started down here on Friday. Just wondering if there is anyone else around here working down there. After tonight I should be over 40 hours so far, which isn't bad for 3 days.

I used to work pretty much right under the bridge, until it fell on the tracks

I wonder when the bridge will actually get done, and how well.

I hope the civils who designed the new bridge used a bigger safety factor this time around.

I was down there for about a month moving watermains outta the way of bridge footings..

Good thing it wasnt the 10th ave bridge that fell... lol 48" watermain strung across that would of been a small river.

I'm a surveyor. Our company got brought in in the middle of the project because they were having prolem with the other company.

Judging by how hard they are pudhing around here I would say early and well.

As far as design factors, from hat I have read down here so far, they are over building to a good amount.

if everything goes right, the bridge should be done by dec 09.

I'd prefer it be done halfassed so we can blame the next conservative transportation commissioner.

The other day in the news, they said the bridge should be done a couple of months early. Bonus money at work.
