That picture from above reminds of the bus jumping scene in the Speed movie.

The first girder is about ready to be lifted into place on I-471.

Will the temperature play any bearing on the pouring/setting of the concrete?

That is way beyond my area of expertise.  Anyone?

No clue, but it is supposed to make it into the mid 40's Friday and Saturday. I can't help but imagine that temps in the middle 40's is more ideal than single digital temps for today and tomorrow morning.

Right, I am ready to celebrate the heat wave and break out a pair of shorts.

I am not far off of you there.  I am probably in shorts ten months out of the year.

From WCPO 9

All of the replacement girders are in place on the southbound lanes of I-471 at the Big Mac Bridge.

Now crews are working to install additional reinforcing steel plates and cross frames, as well as scaffolding that will eventually be used to reconstruct the bridge deck.

This is kind of like a sneak preview of the upcoming Brent Spence replacement project.  Just take this 471 project, double it and extend it over a decade.

I think it will be a lot more than double it but for sure.  That will will be a very interesting process/construction to follow.
