seen today

We took a short drive out in the countryside this morning into the mountains and coal mining area around our campground.  On the way back we were stopped by a State Police car needing room for a couple of over sized loads.  Then we just had to sit and watch as these two huge concrete bridge girders made their way around the corner and then down the hwy.  It's a good thing that the axles in the back were also steerable.

This first picture is the second girder making the turn and the last picture is the first one already around the corner and ready to travel down the road.  Judging from the cars and semi in the lane beside the last picture I would say that it was at least 150-180 foot long.

Wow!! them are some long girders. Did you learn what bridge they were going to be used for?
