3300 South Bridge Moving Project This gallery shows images from the construction of the 3300 South Bridge. This bridge crosses I215 near the mouth of Parley's Canyon.
The bridge was constructed over a mile away from its final destination. To install the bridge, workers drove the new bridge along Wasatch Boulevard. They created a special on ramp between Wasatch Boulevard and I215.
As I understand, the plan is to close the freeway on Friday Night. Install the bridge on Saturday and have the freeway back up and running for the Monday morning rush hour traffic.
