Obviously this is not happening tonight.

I went by at about 5 PM and the bridge has been raised about 10 ft in preparation for the jacks to be placed on the trucks under the bridge. This allows lifting to remove the current ground supports and lifting into place over the roadway. The jacks are still sitting to the side.

Some second hand information I received earlier today was that it would be Thursday for the move. I'll keep checking every day. The real indicator is when the road signs change to "Road closed at 9:00PM tonight".
