BIG MAC UPDATE 

IN SOUTHWEST OHIO, PROGRESS IS BEING MADE TO REPAIR CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE.
TODAY IS A BIG DAY IN CINCINNATI FOR THE DANIEL CARTER BEARD BRIDGE OTHERWISE KNOWN AS BIG MAC. GIRDERS ARE EXPECTED TO BE UNLOADED THIS MORNING AND LIFTED INTO PLACE WITH MORE ARRIVING THROUGH MID WEEK. IRONWORKERS ARE EXPECTED TO WORK THREE SHIFTS AROUND THE CLOCK TO BOLT THEM INTO PLACE. THESE MASSIVE STEEL BEAMS PROVIDE THE BRIDGE'S SUPPORT STRUCTURE. AFTER INSTALLATION, CONCRETE WILL BE POURED FOR THE NEW DECKS. ALL OF THIS FOLLOWED A MASSIVE FIRE THAT RESULTED IN FOUR INDICTMENTS. THE SOUTHBOUND LANES WILL REMAIN CLOSED THROUGH MARCH.
