A new bridge on the Willamette Update

  The river construction window for the Willamette was put in place for the safety of the wildlife in (largely fish migration) and around the river, consideration for recreational use, and commercial concerns. That window, from July 1st until Halloween, has seen a flurry of action. Unfortunately, I'm missing a lot of it. I spent a little over two weeks in San Francisco for the Photoshop & You store and then another two weeks on vacation in Southern California and along the coast following Highway 101. Luckily, I can watch time-lapse videos of the construction, either on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Now that we have reached the half-way point for this year's river construction period, more information is being released. The project is putting together informative videos that include interviews with the designers and decision makers behind this new work. Here's what we have so far, with more to come:
