Yesterday I left you exhausted and overwhelmed from too much information. Today I will simply show you the neat-o little peek-a-boo hole to see the river through the crumbling abutment.
And, as a special treat, I will answer your burning question of how the loader got to the opposite side of the bridge – trenchplates!! Yeppers, that is Road-speak for giant flat metal thingies that are strong enough to span gaping holes for giant yellow machines to drive across crumbling bridges. We shall not speak of the weight limit again – pay no attention to the sign that prohibited anything over 4 tons from crossing the bridge.

Diane, happy to oblige!
Cheryl, ignorance was bliss, but yes, the rebuild is probably a good thing.
Oh my goodness. Looks like a good thing they are working on this bridge!
I keep remembering the weight limit! Thanks for reminding me not to – 🙂
