Doug Verdier's Third Avenue Bridge Photos from January 6-7, 2021
Thursday, January 7, 2021 at 5:54PMEditors Note: Mill District resident Doug Verdier continues to document the progress of the Water Works project. He has also been documenting the Third Avenue Bridge refurbishment project.
Since the Third Avenue Bridge was closed to all traffic, bikes and pedestrians on Monday, construction activity on the bridge has increased significantly. Wednesday morning saw a tower of red steel framework being erected on the bridge, which was fascinating to watch.
In the two photos below, a section of the structure is being lifted by crane into place atop the growing tower:

As of Thursday, January 7, the horizontal arm of the construction crane was attached.
