The Tech 21 Bridge
was built in California and shipped to the Butler County Engineer's
Office in three sections on one truck. It took one week to travel
across the country, arriving at the BCEO facilities on June 24,
1997. The pictures below show the truck arriving and BCEO crews
unloading the bridge sections, and the July 8th installation
at the Smith Road site. For additional photos and information,
