Agree.  I don't remember any box girder taking this long to get in place.  They still aren't very close on it.  It looks like they are taking every precaution to be sure it goes well.

I am worried that expansion on the northeast grouping to close the gap might not happen for a while given with happened with the spiral that was put in place and then removed.

I am assuming it was removed due to a manufacturing defect (or maybe it was broken when they tried to install it?).

Regardless, I think all the pieces are unique and custom made and am thinking it might take weeks to get a replacement for it made.

We should find out in the next couple of days.  Once this box girder is put in place, I believe there will only be 3 left to bridge the gap.  It will also take us to 10 of 36 box girders installed.  Not good that this was supposed to be completed in January.  Even if they do 3 a week, which would be a very significant improvement in speed, we are still looking at more than 8 weeks to get the crown truss completed.

I would be thrilled if it were completed by the end of March.
