Looks narrow because they filled in part ways to be able to have a working area around the abutments and to keep water out when they dug down for the footings. just looking at pics you can see about 30 feet each side of the abutments and about 40 feet of water. some of the working area should be pulled up later. Or just let the next big rain to clear it out. In the month since I was there it appears that not much has been accomplished. Snails pace would be an improvement. Finish for the election??? Your guess is as good as mine.That’s what I’m saying too…overkill for small river..
Did you measure it on Google Earth?No way…over 100’
No I did it old fashioned way looked at
Time for eyeglasses.No I did it old fashioned way looked at
So that is over 100’ hope your depth perception is better then length..Time for eyeglasses.
Go for it when Google earth updates again then tell me what you think..
Bingo they filled it in…Looks narrow because they filled in part ways to be able to have a working area around the abutments and to keep water out when they dug down for the footings. just looking at pics you can see about 30 feet each side of the abutments and about 40 feet of water. some of the working area should be pulled up later.

I didn't realize it took that long.The La Vega overpass took 13 months, and that was on one of the major highways.
Correct, but the span will be over 100'Bingo they filled it in…
FYI build up staying..Correct, but the span will be over 100'
Looking forward to it!I didn't realize it took that long.
I really need to get out of the city more often.
Gary is coming back up from Medellin later this month so I'll probably make the trip up there with him this time around. It's been a minute for sure.
I'll let Google Earth know. BTW, the old bridge was 185 ft. long.I've been over that bridge to many times to count, there is no way that river is 100 ft. wide.
The bridge.... not the river..................or do you want the bridge to equal the river in length...........????I've been over that bridge to many times to count, there is no way that river is 100 ft. wide.
Past ..no longer..not an argument just observation..
What do you mean past? That's a recent photo. Just to the north of where the bridge will be, the river is wider than 100ft. On the south side, it appears less than 100', but part of the river on both sides is obscured by tree canopy making it look less wide.Past ..no longer..not an argument just observation..

Wait for updated what? You can see in the photo that I posted that there has been fill added along the river bank making it narrower than it was before. The width of the river is not going to change except for the fact that they're putting in those abutments which will probably make the river narrower at those points.Photo is 6 months old
... recent for Google Earth like I said wait for updated..
