Hey Flycatcher, glad I was able to pass them along. Any idea what time frame these pics were? If the columns on the spans are well under way, these pics were probably taken Aug / early Sept (at the latest)?

Did you notice the kayaks in the pic of the cable towers?

There are about six colums now rising from the middle of the arch span (which you can see in the second pic of your recent photo post). They're not very high yet -- maybe each one is ten or twenty feet high -- so I would date your photos at (maybe) one month old.

Yes, things move fast at the construction site!

As for the kayakers, I did notice them. Just a little downstream, there is a launch area where local kayak sightseeing companies launch their tours. I would venture to say that these kayakers paddled upstream a short ways to watch the marvel that will soon be the magnificent bypass bridge.

No, we may not be able to build magnificent dams anymore, but America sure can build magnificent bypasses!

Thanks for the pics. Since I have a fear of heights, I can’t imagine what it must have been one of the rope guys working on the dam, and these guys working on the bridge. Really nice, clear pictures.
