Week 7 Update

This week the forming of the top of the left bank abutment continued. It should be finished over the weekend in order to begin pouring next Monday or Tuesday.

Rock was keyed into with the toe rock that was already in place. Here are a few photos of the projects progress. Please check back for more photos and updates over the next couple weeks.
