Rochester Street comes next, followed by the bridges at Percy Street, Bronson Avenue, Preston Street
“It’s not like every day you see an overpass being taken out and … a new one in there,” said 10-year-old Jenson, whose mom preferred not to provide last names. Unfortunately, he and all others who stopped by the construction site Saturday afternoon had missed the most dramatic part of the spectacle — the demolition of the old bridge, and insertion of the new one, moved from a staging area by self-propelled modular transporters. Still, “cool” is how Jenson characterized it.
It wasn’t Bob Birnbaum’s first taste of construction entertainment. He’s had a daily view of the construction of an apartment building across the street from his own. “And that’s fascinating,” he said. “It started with watching them build the crane, which – I’ve never seen a crane built. And just to watch how they build the crane with another crane, and then the guys are walking out there … It was really quite something. It’s been great fun.
“They told me when I did aptitude tests not to go anywhere near engineering. So that’s why I find this fascinating. I have no idea what they’re doing.”Postmedia
