Towers similar to bridge at Brownwood so likely to look the same only longer.

It will be interesting to see how the bridge reacts when a large number of trucks pass under at 75 mph at the same time.

According to today's newspaper the Brownwood bridge will be set the week of 18 August.

The setting of both bridges will be interesting to watch.
Just a guess, but I would think it would be done in the middle of the night.
