Farming Bridges

For all you transportation nerds out there, here's what Ash is doing tonight - watching a bridge move from the farm where it was built into its permanent bridge/road home.  The bridge is the longest two-span bridge (354 ft.) that has ever been moved using Self Propelled Modular Transporters in the Western Hemisphere.  (Wow, can you tell that last sentence was from a press release or what?!?)  Anyway, Ash's company is part of the team moving the bridge.  It really is pretty crazy, interesting stuff. 

Here's the video from the news tonight (below) and the newspaper article

I'm praying everything goes smoothly and safely.  Ash, feel free to correct any technical errors in my writing in the comments. ;)
