The original Portal bridge was opened twice today (11/19) to prepare for the arrival. Both times it closed properly. It'll be intresting to see how it goes when the main span arrives.

I really hope the weather is great so we can see that whole maneuver getting the span up river of the swing span. Would not be surprised if the passage will be the heaviest ever transit thru the present bridge opening.

Dates for all the work for transiting and installing will need close attention to dates and times.
