Fun to watch..
One of them is saying that the only reason why it hasn't been opened yet is because they cannot put the asphalt because of the rain, which according to prognoses is going to continue for the rest of the week until middle of next. Soooo, we might have to wait a bit more for it to open, probably end of next week, unless they actually do asphalt it in the rain.
I LOVE the typical Dominican answer. Paliza asks at 3:35, so when is the bridge ready? The answer he gets is "Ahorita"
Willy doesn't reach that far west:
Lots of rain this morning in Sosua. Lucky that there is time left. That was a nice video, I saw a expansion joint at 1min 15sec-18sec. We don't worry about frost heave, but heat expansion is common here.
Who is Paliza?I LOVE the typical Dominican answer. Paliza asks at 3:35, so when is the bridge ready? The answer he gets is "Ahorita"

I'll be the one in the Clown Wig and pink hard hat with Jones written in front
Notice they stepped over an expansion joint at the end of the bridge
The Cangrejo Bridge is open for pedestrians as of today, just watched a video on FB.
Both sides handrails and sidewalks 90% complete.

Isn’t the paving supposed to level out the dip? I thought Chico referenced that in a previous post?That "Dip" is going to drive me nuts every time I see it.
Actually I was surprised at the height of the guardrail. It appears to be a lot lower than the ones on North American bridges. In the video it appears to be much lower than the waistline of the workers on the bridge.
I think the camber in the beams is what makes it look like a dip.That "Dip" is going to drive me nuts every time I see it.
All I care that it opens and the water doesn't pond on top and we can go to Puerto Plata without winding through Montellano another year
Ditto. My boys now have a Christmas break from school, so I don't have to go through to the "other side" until after the holidays. Soooo, it can open anytime before Jan 8th and I'm happy.
