Ease on down, ease on down the road....
Installing the huge steel bridge girders for the Columbus Crossroads is no easy taskunder the best of conditions. But try easing a set of girders over a highway and underanother set of girders for a second bridge. That's the challenge our crews begin to facethis week as work progresses on a ramp that will realign and carry I-670 westbound trafficto I-71 south.
Because they'll be working in a less open place than in previous girder installations,overnight construction crews will be using smaller, but heavy-duty cranes to swing thegirders onto special support posts to hold them in place. Once secured, the permanent,reinforced concrete support will be poured around the beams.
