Our bridge repairs continue.

Last Friday, I posted part One about how the floods had swept away our bridge supports and how the remaining steel deck had been removed.

Unfortunately, when the deck was lifted clear of the concrete supports, further damage to those supports became visible.  Thus repairs had to be made, as the photo below illustrates.

Once the concrete had cured for a couple of days, then it was time to install a steel frame.  This frame will take the weight of the steel platform when it’s time to re-install that.

Below there’s a picture of Wade welding the cross joists to the main longitudinal girders.

Plus another shot that demonstrates the ease with which these guys work on girders!

So no access to our front entrance road just now but by Friday the steel platform should be back in place.  Then before the required earth works are started on Monday we will have a week-end of being able to drive in and out of our property.
