I see a crane boom sticking up out of smoke, is it under construction ?

With the fire engine on the bridge, hopefully it's a brush fire. Damn I hope they make it drivable by next weekend. I can gas on the water but being cut off of Parker would suck. BEER I hear the temp wood for construction burned, they have to make sure it is safe before they open it. Earp is cut off for now.

Aren't there two bridges one for traffic, other for RR?
Looks like form work in place, but I'm viewing from phone.

I'm trying real hard not to say anything negative about this gold plated and now roasted bridge. A bridge remodel we really didn't need. Who remodels a bridge with the only real purpose of spending tax dollars. Rhetorical question.

I just hope the pile is open this weekend or towing my pile to Havi isn't gonna be fun.

That that it is a reliable source but I read on the river rats fb page that the bridge lost funding or the funding got diverted somewhere else....Makes you think arson but whom is to say for sure...

You can always tow your pile down the dirt road to black meadows landing and lanch there:violin:

I doubt out government would stop spending money simply because they ran out of money LOL

That ain't gonna happen. Staying in Havi Fri & Sat night. I just hope its open or we may cancel.

This answers my question on why it takes 2 years to build a minor bridge and still not be finished, and yeah who needed a new one anyways. I'm staying in Earp so that part is cool, guess I just go over the dam to get to Safeway for food and beer then.

Parker P.D. said both lanes are open as of 0700 hrs. tues.

Has it only been 2 years? seems more like going on 3. Guess the old one wasn't good enough. Worked for what, 40-50 years? I could have saved us millions by just painting it :D

Wonder if this is arson???

I was told that two suspects were observed leaving (running from) the scene of the fire and the fire is being investigated as arson.

[Cole Trickle]

what a mess.....

They have been working on that bridge forever. I think they built the golden gate in less time.

Wonder if those 2 suspects had anything to do with the storage fires??? 😳

I wonder if the two suspects had pink checks in their pockets? :D
