UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD BRIDGE IN CHIPPEWA FALLS

2014-04-23 - Dan Varga

Here is a set of 10 pictures of the bridge across the Chippewa River that was recently moved about 20-30 feet south to place the end of each truss section on the new concrete piers shown in these photos.

I took these pictures on Monday evening, April 21, after I noticed that the sections of the bridge were no longer resting on the old wooden piers. The new concrete piers were built and put in place over the past several months, starting late last fall and continuing during the very harsh cold winter.
