The existing home was removed in mid-September along with several trees. The boat navigation channel was closed on September 24th and will remain closed until May 2013. The contractor began driving past last friday. Here is a picture of the second pile being driven on September 28th.
The pile driving continued this morning. When the contractor is done, there will be 52 pipe piles each driven to a depth of approximately 100' which will suuport the new bridge and retaining wall. Below is a picture of the west abutment pile as they are being installed.
