Work on the replacement I-35W bridge in Minneapolis seems to be moving along surprisingly fast. The southern approach span over the west bank of the Mississippi River is already finished up to the pier. About 600 workers are working 12-hour shifts, 24-hours a day, seven days a week on both sides of the river to get the bridge rebuilt in the shortest amount of time possible.

I can't wait for it to be completed! And yes, Marylin, the other bridges are the scary part -- part of a bridge fell a couple of weeks ago on the other side of town, 35E in St Paul, MN.
