I overslept. Yesterday (Nov 1), Paul's team finished removing the girders from the Pearman approach up to East Bay - here, the last girder is being lowered.

Last night, Neil's team would cut and remove the roadway over the Ravenel approach. The only problem is I managed to make it over to the site about 4am, just in time to watch the cleanup. Here is an overview - exposed girders and cleaning up below.

So again, it was fun to capture with long exposures, the stationary structures and the moving machines and workers.

Loading the debris into a truck

Night photos are fun, because you can see through the arms of a loader and watch someone (I need to meet) directing the process.

A different view showing the large tembers used to protect the roadway.

Richie was driving the highly mobile Cat - here a blur while debris is picked up from the tember floor

Here is Richie's cat - waiting

More cleanup of debris on the temporary wooden floor

As some of the temporary floor is cleaned, it is removed as Neil inspects the progress.

And by about 5:30, its almost all over

Tonight, I'll sleep less and follow the 7550 lifting the girder skeleton. I discovered the 550 represents the lift capacity of the Grove 7550 - but the 7? What does that mean?
