Starting with the “southern” end's approach ramp, the team begins working the wracked section back to square. They also will, as part of that process, be resetting it into the slots in the pier that it floated out of. Here you see Steve Reiss, Bill Taggart and Linda Taggart working it back into line and leveling the mid-point support beam. In the background to the far right, Lee Mott can be seen preparing to attach one of the ladders to a tree. That will be one of two spar points for our high-line “sky hook” that we will be using to lift and relocate the next section of bridge. (photo by Monica Day)
