Two months ago I posted some shots of the Ward Bridge here, shortly before it was closed for work on its concrete piers that have been undermined by Dungeness River flooding. One of the trickier parts of the project was to accomplish the work with minimal disruption to salmon runs that occur in late summer.
The river is being rerouted while work is being undertaken. These big sandbags have been deployed and two excavators were at work when I checked out the project.
They’re working against the clock with a short term permit described here.
Amazing engineering feat.
Gosh that’s no small task Kay, they’d better get a move on, holding back nature can have consequences ✨
The salmon will be coming soon!
That has to be done as quickly as possible.
It’s incredible that they only have 30 days to do the project and it ends in a week. Cool video, thanks for the link.
