The only really new thing is the construction of the ADA pedestrian ramp.  Still many many dump truck loads of dirt (layered with mesh and contained on the sides by the black fabric) called "pillows" continue to roll in reverse along Olympiad.  The "stair steps" will be filled to create the ramp.

Dump trucks continue to bring in dirt!

On Tuesday, long, side-dump trucks removed some of the tree trunks and roots left from clearing the bank above the east end of the bridge.

By Thursday, bulldozer and roller worked in tandem to smooth out the approach to the bridge deck.  Storm drain components have been embedded into the approach road.

Work began on the approach to the bridge on the west end.  Here is what we saw earlier this month.  By Saturday, "pillows" of dirt, mesh and black fabric were being constructed.

By Saturday, the slope from the approach road down into the estuary was formed south of the roadway. (Above)

A recent visit to the construction site by this blogger ended up getting the attention of the construction people.  We were asked by them to stay out now, since the conditions are more dangerous.  We were also asked to pass along word to the neighbors.  They are concerned about people's safety.

On Monday, the crane was moved to the east side of the bridge.  It began working, but this blogger didn't get to watch what it was doing.  

More dumptrucks delivered dirt to create the north slope on the east end. Perhaps this will become the kayak loading/unloading area.

On Tuesday, workers began making these.  Lots more plywood sheets and lumber were stacked nearby.  Any guesses about what these could be? 

A mysterious material appeared on the construction site:  rolls of rubber pads.
