Little by little
Okay, I’m officially obsessed with bridge building. Seriously, how does it all work? And yes, I realize that I could actually take the time to learn the answer to that question, but I’d much prefer to sit and watch our city’s newest bridge be constructed whilst marveling at the wonder of it all from afar. Next up? The 4 million pound, 101.7-foot-long iconic white tower, which should be in place by Christmas Eve. They have to lift it 400 feet above the water in order to set it into place. I mean seriously, how cool is that?
