I spent some time on the riverwalk this summer, but I didn't see it lit up at night. This is a great shot!

Engineered troughs form the main piece is prefabricated and brought in by barge

Caissons were installed months ago the pieces are now placed on top of the supports and will rest on the rebar/concrete filler.

The trough is hung from a frame sitting on the caisson, here the extra length of caisson is cut off exposing the rebar.

cutting off the stubs from the supports - these will be covered by the pavers when done.
