Week Two

On Monday, the class started the construction of the two towers. These towers are the support system for the entire bridge itself. Thursday, once the towers were made the class started to put them up and is working so fast that they will be up by Friday. After the towers are up, all that's left is the roadbed and the cables. We are planning to start the roadbed on Monday, and hopefully finish it within two weeks after that. Once they finish that, we have to put the cables up and build a ramp. They might have a chance to paint it, but in lieu of time they might not. Remember, they have to destroy this entire bridge before the end of the year is up, yet after Mr. Bergen walks across it. With only about five weeks of school left, both classes are rushing to get this bridge put up, but with two entire classes of about twenty two students in each, there's no need to rush. Something that takes a few people an entire day to do takes one class about an hour and a half. More will come Monday once the towers are up, the roadbed is started, and the pictures come in!
