Bridge lights installed

I took these pics of the new bridge lights on the Veterans Memorial Bridge today. Currently, there are 10 lights installed. Starting from the Wrightsville side, they leapfrog (every other pier) on the southern edge for about 2/3 of the way across to the Columbia side, and alternate with the existing pole lights. One pier was skipped for some reason. On the Columbia side, four available piers remain, which will bring the total to 15 when the rest of the lights are installed on the southern edge. I assume the same number will be installed on the northern edge, bringing the total number of lights to 30 for the entire bridge. Removing the pole lights could allow that number to double, but I don't know if that's part of the plan.

About a month ago, I counted only 21 light fixtures at the borough garage along the river. Are there more on the way, or are some stored elsewhere?

Utility poles installed

Over the past few days, several large utility poles have been installed in the area of Route 441 near the exit ramp to Route 30.  Each pole contains large metal pulleys.  A base station containing several bucket trucks has been set up along Route 441, just north of Route 30.

A good day for working up in the air

A motor-bicycle built for three

A man and two kids - all helmetless - were seen riding this Rube Goldberg-type contraption out of Columbia and over the bridge today, exceeding 50 mph.
Half bicycle and half motorcycle. This can't possibly be legal.
