One bridge opens, another goes away

I've written about the bridge project on Ijamsville Road here and here. The county recently reached another milestone, completing the intersection after the bridge:

Still a lot of work to be done -- Ijamsville Road still is not fully open -- but I was more interested in the work that remains to be undone. Specifically, what is the status of the old bridge? The road leading to the old bridge still exists, sort of:

You can't drive on it, of course, but I walked down in the other day to see what is what. Near Bush Creek, which the old and new bridges span, was this chunk of pre-fab bridge:

Obviously, not all of the old bridge. A little more walking revealed the other half of the old bridge, still spanning Bush Creek:

A closer view of the half of the bridge still over the creek:

And another view:

I guess even this piece will soon be removed. We'll see, I suppose.

The other new bridge is open, sort of

I realize that genuinely local news like this appeals to absolutely no one who does not live near me, but I think you really need to refer to the name of the blog if this bothers you. In any event, the new bridge on Boyer's Mill Road is open -- but one lane only:

Those trucks in the left lane are construction-related and are parked. Only one lane of traffic is going through. Apparently, the bridge will be completely closed on Wednesday. I assume traffic will be two-lane after that.
