Bridge Demo Over 94

Bolander's (Evan's employer's) crew, led by Tom Skluzacek (don't even try to pronounce that one!) removed the Pedestrian Bridge this weekend over Interstate 94 in Saint Paul. They started before midnight on Friday night and were completely done by 10:00 a.m. on Saturday. Traffic was shut down on 94 in both directions, so their time frame was tight. I was relieved to hear everything went well (for some reason bridge jobs scare me more than the average demos?!) With Tom in charge, why was I worried??? He also led the 35W bridge removal project as well as the Four Bears Bridge in North Dakota. Here are a couple of pictures - at the beginning and near the end:
