Here in Dallas, there is a big mess of highway bridges that is being built. It's called the "High Five"... there is a machine that they are using to build it, this machine has only been used one other time to aid in building a bridge. It's the first time it's been used in the United States. It "shimmys" out on the end of the road that's elevated, and it uses cables or something to lift the next piece of roadway up to get connected. It cuts down on the building time dramatically. There's only one (count it, 1) guy that knows how to operate this thing. Ok, so anyway, here's two links to live streaming video of the work in progress. Interesting stuff:

Click those links I posted up there. That high five project is pretty massive. It's scary to drive over there, cause there's so much free hanging cement over your head. It's like a big section of highway bridge stretching out without a pillar underneath it to support. It looks like it could fall at any moment. :shiver me timbers:
