During a recent trip along I-90 into Minnesota, I went through one of the multitude of road projects that are ongoing. This one was very interesting visually … a new set of bridges across the Mississippi River and several associated ramps between La Crosse, Wi and La Crescent, MN. I of course had to stop and get some photos.
The cranes are resting on barges in the river. Larry Shapiro photoConstruction of new highway bridges crossing the Mississippi River between LaCrosse, WI and La Crescent, MN.

They had a crane supporting a massive support beam while the iron workers were securing it, but it was on a side of the project that didn’t offer access for photos.
