The video at this link shows multiple views of the beam delivery for the new Fern Hollow Bridge in Pittsburgh, Pa. As described in the Project article on page 16, the beam delivery required the truck to be driven backward for a mile and attracted attention from neighborhood residents and the media. The new bridge was opened to traffic in December 2023, less than 11 months after the previous bridge collapsed.

The new Sixth Street Viaduct in Los Angeles, Calif., is featured in the Project article on page 38. Ten concrete tied-arch spans are combined with two prestressed concrete box girder approach spans to carry traffic over the Los Angeles River, two railroad corridors, U.S. Route 101, city streets, and the site of a 12-acre park that will be constructed beneath the viaduct. This is a link to the project website, which features additional information about the project and many photos.
