Providence's I-Way Invertory Inspections

Today started with a stop in Millbury MA to pick up an ice coffee at DDs and bagel. With sunny skys and a nice wind off the water, it was a shame to spend the day inside of a steel box girder. With access hatches at the ends of each span I was able to enter with the help of a bucket. The box girder is 8 feet tall and has trapezoidal shaped girders which allowed for easy movement through the inspection. 

The next bridge on the other hand had limited space and when I had to double check bearing connections and end diaphragm screens, movement was awkward and time consuming.
