Demolition is cool
The old Montrose bridge over 59 was blown up (well, came down actually) last night, and new decking is now being laid:
"We had about 90 pounds probably of dynamite. A stick is about half a pound, so about 180 sticks," said Alan Thompson with Engineered Explosion Services.
Crews were also working on the new bridge this weekend, installing decking. This is the final phase of construction of the new bridges spanning the freeway at Montrose. The entire project is expected to wrap up this spring.
There's video with the KTRK-13 story. It's not as impressive as a stadium being demolished, but who doesn't like a big (planned) explosion?
