Welding shear connectors (studs) onto the tops of the girders. They look like big nails welded to the steel. This is what connects the concrete to the structural steel. They guy doing the welding is Ralph Darrah. He grew up in nearby Rochester.
The new bridge has the same curved alignment as the old bridge, but the North end is seven feet higher. There are three lights on each side that look like the other Main Street lights. The bridge rail is called Texas Rail. It's concrete with Gothic shaped window slots. The intersection at route 12A was rebuilt similar to what it was before the project started. Even the grass Island. Prince Street curves under the bridge like it used to, but is a much wider curve.
