Last June they were working on the bridge over the Lamar, and this June they were working on the bridge over the Lamar. Bridge building, particularly in highly sensitive ecological areas like Little America, has to be challenging.

No traffic disruption the multiple times we went through there. Just a few shots to update you on their progress. Through the windshield, looking west. The banks on either side of the road are still a mess, but I'm betting when they're done everything will be seamlessly restored.
