Third Avenue Bridge Pier Demolition

Submitted by Mill District Resident, Doug Verdier 

Significant demolition has been underway on the Third Avenue Bridge pier nearest to West River Parkway. The exterior walls of the upstream side of the pier are being removed and will be replaced. The base of the pier beneath the demo area is protected from the falling concrete by heavy timbers. The below photos show part of the interior of the pier as well as the steel girders that will support the bridge deck when it is replaced.
