Crum Creek Bridge Replacement (Time Lapse)

My brother showed me this last night. Thought it was neat. SEPTA's replacement of the 100-year old Crum Creek Viaduct. Basically rebuild the bridge supports, build new bridge next to old one, tear down old bridge, slide new bridge into place then replace the catenary wires. I think the actual bridge was only out for a few months.

To see the whole time lapse video press the "play" button at the bottom of the webcam picture.
