Last month, I saw the preparations for a bridge replacement at Smokey Road. They did it Oct 14, 2021, and I missed seeing it on the actual day. I went there a week later, and saw them just loading out the big crane boom sections by using a Cat excavator to load the trucks. |

And I see why the work didn't take as long as I thought it would, the original steel girder bridge and it's wood pilings are still there. It's just the approaches that had the new work. A two-foot long steel girder fills the space between old and new. |
