Bigger crane needed to remove Springfield bridge.
Published: August 20, 2011
SPRINGFIELD — Contractors attempting to remove the historic bridge on the Black River will take another stab at it Tuesday, weather permitting.
According to Springfield Regional Development Corporation Executive Director Bob Flint, contractors need a much bigger crane to remove the 40,000 pound bridge.
For two days contractors have struggled to lift the bridge out of its current location. The 142 foot by 15 foot bridge weighed more than contractors thought, and they spent days removing small sections in order to lift it.
Flint said a crane will be en route to Springfield on Monday.
The new bridge is part of a $13 million renovation project of the former Fellows Gear Shapers building. It is costing the developer, One Hundred River Street of Washington, DC, more than $200,000 to remove the bridge and replace it with a new one.
You should have hired George Tallman
ReplyDeleteYou miss spending fools!
Let me guess anonymous. You are George Tallman? Just a stab in the dark!
ReplyDeleteWhat a waste !!! Springfield loves wasting money on the wrong things.
ReplyDeleteThey waste a lot of money by letting all the paracites WATCH people work instead of LOOKING FOR work. Did you see the people sitting on the side of the road? Made me shudder to think they call themselfs Springfielders.

ReplyDeleteI am not George Tallman!
I want you to know who I am though.
'cause I feel like I am alone in wanting a better Springfield.
I see so much WHITE COLLAR and GOLD COLLAR crime, facism, and miss spent money. I KNOW THE TRUTH about TOO MUCH. (follow the money)
I CAN do a better job.
I have seen many anonymous posts, I know HERE that I am not alone.
SOON WE WILL overthrow the rotting brains that run this town.
It will be my pleasure to sound the trumpets and fire the first shot

Hope you liked my song Sheriff Roscoe Coltraine. A real live revolutionary force unfolds before our very eyes on a free and relatively unknown blog. All hail anonymous! That is...the anonymous guy below this anonymous guy and just above the other anonymous guy. Got it? No? Didn't think so. F off.
I'm not happy with Springfield either. But, I also would like to remain anonymous for now. I don't think anyone who voices true opinions needs to be shot, for sure.
ReplyDeleteOh good grief - are you really this stupid? Have you ever turned a radio on? STFU.
