The first pictures are in: the trial assembly of the first half of the bridge is underway in Oregon!

Back in the park, a group of engineers from Federal Highways visited last week and joined NPS staff on a visit to the construction site. The photo below shows the excavation progress that's been made on the west side (see the yellow equipment halfway down the slope above the road). Blasting and mucking (removing broken rock and soil from the excavation area) on the west side is expected to continue for four to five more weeks.
