— from John Van Lund —

Construction crews will pour concrete to form the bridge end diaphragms. In addition, they’ll set up the Bidwell finishing machine, a concrete roller paving machine which will be used to form the bridge deck surface.

Crews will also begin constructing the new Channel Road grade to form a transitional surface connecting the bridge structure with the road on the east side of bridge.
