Week 2 update

The Lion Creek project is well underway and progress is ahead of schedule. This week the pilings for both sides of the bridge were drilled and the concrete was poured. J. S. Morris Construction is working to finish welding the wire cages that will be the frame for the bridge abutments. These should be in place and poured with cement sometime next week. The removal of the current creek barrier is also planned to occur next week to make way for the new bridge. Check back next week for more photos.

Silt fencing marks the location of the piles which were recently poured. The new bridge will span the area between the two fences.
