dunno who's been keeping up with NJDOT stuff but theres something called hyperbuild basically where stuff that wouldve taken a year to get done not too long ago now gets done in a weekend basically...because of new resources & techniques...pretty cool stuff. My wife went to watch for 3hrs last night did nothing but its OT for her...she wanted to show me it today so i went along...got to go the wrong way down rt 1 which was blocked off...that in itself was pretty cool lol...Basically for bridges instead of building the stuff on site there are companies out there now that if given the measurements will make these huge slabs of concret & steel beams all preassembled...they ship them down here & bam 10 hrs of work & these huge structures are assembled...its really cool. Mind you these are 200 foot long slabs measured to the mm basically & shipped like 500 miles to jersey with everyone crossing their fingers they'll fit
...there was less then 1in of play when they were set into their spots today which is as good as it gets basically. Just being around heavy machinery is very cool when your a guy....next one I go to I'll bring my digi & grab some pics...its like playing tonka but in real life
