while I was away...

 

I know I've missed blogging for the last few nights.  In my defense, I have stayed up much too late watching the arches being installed on "my bridge."  The installations were done each night between 11pm and 5am.  I do feel possessive of this bridge, the Spy Run bridge, now the Veterans Memorial Bridge, because I've watched the progress on it since the beginning, almost two years ago.  So far everything they have accomplished has met with my approval (although they haven't checked in with me very often). In the above picture notice the huge cranes on the right moving the last arches into place.

Here's a daytime view of all three arches.  One of my very favorite parts of the bridge

are the new, much wider and protected walks on each side of the bridge and the memorial plaques installed along the way.  It has been an adventure watching these final touches going up.
