PROJECT PROGRESS THROUGH PHOTOS Drilled-shaft operations underway at the Loop 101 bridge at Chandler Boulevard  Drilled-shaft operations are the first step for installing new support columns needed for the bridge widening. The work entails first drilling a hole for the planned drilled-shaft foundation, and then inserting a reinforced steel cage (see bottom photo) into the hole and filling it with concrete. After those operations are completed, a support column steel cage is attached (see photo to the right) on top the drilled shaft.

Schedules are subject to change based on weather and other unforeseen factors.
