Excavation began at Pitship Pocket Estuary. The first part of the work is to remove the road fill bordering the culvert and building the bridge abutments. Work is taking place at night to take advantage of nighttime low tides. Here's a look from the upstream end of the culvert with work under way!
November is a cruel time for night work, we have weathered a few gales in the first few nights of the project. Not sure if you can make out the sideways rain in this shot. The foreman looked up at me from the bottom of the excavation "Sure wish we were building this in August!" as the water from his hard hat ran down the back of his neck. Sometimes you have the play with the cards yer dealt...brrr...
Not that night work isn't fun. At the end of the night I'd find myself looking at my watch and saying, "Wow, it's 3 a.m."
