May 21, 2005:What a difference one night makes.
Early this morning, it was a bit chilly and cloudy. Here is a view looking
east from the western end of the bridge. To the right is the last segment
to be paved - about 50 feet long.
Walking from west to east, I first encountered the paved segment that
was curing yesterday. Hmmm - something happened over night.
Yesterday, you noted (because your curious eyes were enabled - weren't they?)
that the Bidwell paving machine was parked
near the 9th stay cable anchor. Here you see that it has moved a bit east and
is now parked near the 5th stay cable anchor. Sometime during the night,
some paving action happened. Also the portable lights have been moved east
a distance of about about 4 anchors.
Here the new pavement from last night is curing and if you count the
anchors on the left - there are eight - close enought for highway work.
Isn't mathematics wonderful? Also the wet burlap that was covering
yesterday's segment has been removed and neatly folded.
