Last week, the project took a major step forward with construction of the wall foundation to the south of the bridge. An equal length of foundation will be constructed upstream and then the wall will be added on top of that.
At least the question of what to do with the existing blocks is answered. They will simply be kept in place behind the new wall. With the narrowing of the existing riverbed, I wonder what the erosion implications will be on the western bank.
I think I am more concerned about spring run off and the speed of the water in the narrows. It is going to be a dangerous spot for man and beast

No, it looks like it but I stayed behind the velvet ropes the whole time!
