I am late for Thursday. Some challenges with slow setting concrete in sub zero overnight conditions, but we still got half a bridge launched, box base slabs cast and approach embankments constructed. All set for completion today.

And now we have exposed a tunnel! Very cold with severe windchill today, but all projects progressing really well. Amazing effort from all our students in challenging conditions.

Its been concrete, concrete, concrete today. Our students have poured a bridge deck in two parts, 6 precast concrete roof panels, two foundations and one bridge peer💪. We have all accrued wind burn with it blowing 20+mph, but have escape the heavy rain felt up north. Tomorrow that changes.
