May 14, 2005: Paving

The inside east-bound and west-bound lanes are complete and the rebar that outlines the separation barrier is in place.

The west backspan. Both west-bound lanes are paved as is the inside east-bound lane - looking east.

The main span looking east.

The east back span looking east. There is about a 100' segment of the outside west-bound lane to be paved.

The last west-bound segment to be paved
