I was driving J.D. to work yesterday when we came upon a quarter of a mile or more of pylons which eventually brought us down to one lane on the other side of the median on Plano Parkway. We were heading east before coming up the rise toward the light at Alma.
When we came down to one lane, we also came to a complete stop. A man in a hard hat popped between the two tower type “arms” of the crane and strung a cable from between the two to the large part on “our” end.
He climbed down and began the process that led to the next picture.
It was quite interesting watching the arm that the guy had walked across raise up and the two original arms split in separate directions. We were wondering what it was they were going to lift.
About that time, traffic began to move again. On the other side of the crane was a bridge on a flat bed truck. Traffic had begun to move so we didn’t get a picture of the bridge on the truck.
But this morning, I took the following pictures of the bridge installed.
The moral of the story is, if you’re going to stop traffic, at least have something for the drivers and passengers to watch to get their minds off of running late.
Keep writing the songs that are in your heart.
Peace be with you.
