Barge-mounted excavator tackles demolition of bridge that plunged into Skagit River.
It’s just over a week since the Interstate 5 Bridge over the Skagit River in Washington state collapsed, dumping cars and people into the water below.
But now a crew from the Washington State Department of Transport has set to work demolishing the fallen structure.
A long reach hydraulic excavator mounted on a floating barge and equipped with a steel shear is being used to cut the steel into sections for removal.
