As huge Hastings bridge span floats in, Hwy. 61 traffic to halt | StarTribune.com

They are floating in the arches for the new bridge using barges and tug boats. Auto traffic is blocked but there are plenty of places for foot traffic if you want to watch. I know when my kids were little they would have loved to watch this.

You don't see many "sidewalk engineers" at construction sites anymore. I think it would be very interesting, but I'm going to have to hope it gets on YouTube.

New Hastings bridge float-in is delayed again | StarTribune.com

I'd love to watch parts of it, like the lifting and setting, but the whole process is supposed to take three days. Mostly like watching a glacier.
