Weeks 10-12
The pre-fabricated bridge is delivered in two sections by semi trucks.
The first bridge section is hoisted into the air with a crane, and carried over the bridge abutments.  
Crews guide the end of the bridge into the concrete abutments and fasten the
end pieces of the guard rails.
 
The process is repeated with the second bridge section.
Crews bolt together the two bridge segments on the top and bottom.
The finished bridge is released from the crane. What was once a serious barrier to fish migration is now an overhead bridge, leaving a natural creek channel open for fish and wildlife.
