Image is a river level view of the north shore cliff face location of the north end of the bridge. The temporary foot bridge over the river is partially visible in foreground leading to two concrete piers with steel connecting brackets in place hard against the cliff face ready for steel bridge members to connect. Directly above, on top of the rock bluff, is a wood post and beam bridge approach structure atop which sits the "Traveler"--the traveling erector machine, ready to set steel in place for the north half of the bridge.
