Deck section removed

How do you remove a concrete bridge deck? One big chunk at a time. On the southbound I-5 Stillaguamish River Bridge, a concrete saw was used to cut old 8½-inch thick deck into roughly six-foot by eight-foot pieces weighing 4½ tons each, which then were lifted out with a track hoe and removed. The new bridge deck reopened in November 2014.
