Finessing
Last week the box culverts which will form the new Danco Drive bridge were hoisted into place and then finessed snugly into each other. The bridge is being rebuilt by NJR Construction of Southbury. Expanded photo array Wed. night on our FB page. More photos on page 4. Linda Lemmon photo.

The crew had to work the culvert under the large water line and snug it up against all its neighbor culverts. 

Shims help.

The water is being piped from one side to the other while 14 box culverts are being installed.

The box culverts that will carry the water are between 18 and 23 tons apiece and are immense. 

The crew used a delicate touch with everything from huge wrenches to a backhoe to line the culverts up. When the left side is finished, they will do the same on the right side and hope to finish the bridge by December.
