To the locals this was months of pervasive "future construction" signs warning us of traffic delays, and then... nothing! Done! I thought that I lost track of time, when in reality 14 bridges were replaced in 10 weekends. That's like a half second in "Big Dig" time.

My previous memory of a replaced bridge was the Charter Oak in Hartford, which was many years of parallel bridges in various states of (con/de)struction. Science!
