Check-in from the bike: all the rocks are hung and span 36 is marked as complete. Now pedalling west of 176th St to see what the rest of the line is up to.

The long-missing tulip where spans 70 and 71 meet, by the golf course, has finally been built. It was the last of the driven foundations. From 71/72 on, they switched to bored foundations.

The new tulip where spans 70 and 71 meet, wrapped in an orange tarp: propane heaters blow warm air inside so the concrete can cure in the cold weather. That's my Kona Unit X in front, photographed drive side out, of course.

If you know the story behind this pillar, let me know in the comments.
