Today, as we were going to the Walmart, I was surprised at the progress of the Clear Creek Bridge over I-26. So, later, I drove up Clear Creek Road and parked on a side road so I could take a few pictures.
This is the approach to the bridge from the south side.
Looking over the bridge to the other side, you can see where they have spanned the north-bound lanes of I-26.
Looking back to the south side, you can see the progress made there.
The spans over the north-bound lanes.

They are making real progress on the bridge. I took these pictures today from the north side approach.
Update: October 17
The bed of the bridge is getting near the point of pouring concrete. They have almost done all the steel work, and the forms are made. They have also raised the ground level up to the level of the bridge on both ends. Here are some pictures I took today.
Update: November 2
It looks like they are about ready to start pouring some concrete. I think they have all the rebar installed. They also have put in a gantry across the bridge.
It is a beautiful Friday with no activity. They have started to put in the forms for the guide rail. The outside has a form that will leave the look of stone facing the highway.

This bridge was supposed to be finished in January and the old bridge taken down. Well, they seem to be a little behind in their work. I took these photos today. Looks like they are basically finished with the bridge. They are doing grading on both approaches.
