WHAT'S HAPPENING ON CITIFIED VICTORIA
Huggett said he hopes to come back to council with fendering options at the end of next month.
There was a small barge under the bridge last night and it appeared they were working on the fender boards on the east side of the old pier.

Add some railings, a deck, and some lighting and the Pedestrian Walkway is good to go... Well, almost, maybe some touchup paint here and there.

A final look at the Bascule Pier prior to installation of the rings...
Lots of last minute activity on site. In the closeup pic, a surveyor can be seen, possibly checking some final alignments?

No need to get out of bed to operate that setup eh!
I would add some sandbags around the tripod legs for the 97kmh sou'easter that is coming...
...someday 
Ready to go...
I'll be watching from above. I've got my Ipad remote controlled camera and motorized pan/tilt head all setup.

Barge went through this morning without a hitch. Bridge might be back open in 10 minutes.

The barge movement was a success. The JSB is back OPEN for the day.

I suspect they'll be loading the counterweight (seen to the right with the purple cords) first. Today is all about loading the two rings and counterweight components onto the barge.

It's disappointing that Gary H didn't bother to clean his balcony for the occasion. I'm pretty sure that I can see at least one little speck of something. Maybe two specks.

I'm fairly certain that's a spec on your screen.

Next the rings...
They are wasting no time in moving the barge to pick up the rings.
