Williamsville Bridge - January 19, 2010
WGN 45-13-05

Hi!

I have discovered that friday is not a good day to visit Williamsville Bridge. I was hoping to catch the crew drilling holes and driving the wood nails. They can use a maul effectively while driving the wood nails on a flat surface. The Worrall crew has a more awkward swing and it will be interesting to see the jackhammer device they are "inventing" It would be nice to compare the two methods.

Here are are a few pictures without people showing a nearly completed second lattice.
