.

On Monday, February 13th the footings for the east abutment, Pier 1, and the west abutment, Pier 17, were poured. There were no additional bridge closures as the pump truck and concrete trucks didn't need to park on the bridge for these pours. They were staged on the side of the road at the ends of the bridge.  After the footings of the abutments cure, another set of forms will be assembled on top of the footing for the concrete abutment wall.
