Photos of the day: Progress at Upper Bodines Bridge
It’s been a busy week and a half at the project site. The contractor, Rylind Construction, placed shale fill on both advance approaches beyond the bridge MSE wall limits. This fill is subbase for the future approach roadway. They placed geogrid and stone backfill behind the MSE walls, removed the Jersey Barrier from the stream, placed rip-rap at all 4 corners of the bridge and restored the stream channel under the bridge.

Work is moving forward at the Upper Bodines Road site. Crews have been busy backfilling both the north and south ends of the bridge and adding more weatherproofing.

Crews are continuing to make progress at the bridge site. This week they started the backfill process. Here you can see the stone and the geogrid, which is used for reinforcement. This process will be continued on both the north and south ends of the bridge. Stay tuned for more exciting updates!

Construction continues to move forward at Upper Bodines Road. The MSE wingwalls were set and everyday the bridge is looking more and more like the finished product. Hard to imagine that only a few weeks ago this site was just a big empty hole. Keep following us for more updates!
