Ask Mr. Answer Person: "Is that the way the bridge will look?"

(Actually, Mr. Answer Person hasn't been getting asked the following question--Decorah City Engineer Lindsay Erdman has.  But the question and his answer are significant, so just pretend the question was asked of Mr. Answer Person:

"Is that the way the Trout Run Trail Bridge is going to look when it's finished?")

Mr. Lindsay Erdman Answer Person replies:  "No. It won't look like that when it's done."  He says what you're seeing now is the supporting structure for when the concrete deck of the bridge will be poured.

A picture of what the bridge project looks like now is posted below.  The design of the new bridge when completed is posted above.
