Photo of the bridge after it was placed on its new abutments.
This process took place in May 2011. At the time of the visit, new railings and other minor things were needed and therefore the bridge was closed. However because of the government shutdown a month earlier, it is unlikely that the bridge will be open before Winter of this year.
