DRONE12: Chester Bridge work update

Chester Illinois bridge construction update for 1-16-2025. Here is some video from pier 5 of the crew building rebar cages. The iron workers build all these rebar cages. Some are built on the ground and set in place, and some are built right on the columns. Garrett Moll is running the Manitowoc crane and you will see he is so smooth. Ames Construction has the best crane operators in this area in my opinion. They are all really good. You can also see the crew on the north tower, they just slid th

Chester IL bridge update, 9-4-2025. Here's a different look at the job site. The video starts off at Horse Island chute and flies across pier 4. Then you will get a look at what things look like from north of the bridge looking south. I can't go to far north because it gets into the airport flight paths. So this is a view most people have not seen unless you are coming downstream on a boat. Enjoy! #chesterbridge #donwelgememorialbridge | Neal Adams

Chester IL bridge, 9-24-2025. Here's some video of John K Brown setting the concrete girders on Horse Island chute on the Missouri side. This lift was a bit different, he picked it up and they swung it around 180° and then John set it in place. I missed the very first part when they picked it off the truck, I was changing batteries. This video was filmed on 9-18-2025. Hopefully tomorrow it won't be raining all day and I can get down to do an update. Enjoy! #chesterbridge #donwelgememorialbridge

Chester IL Bridge, 10-9-2025. I'm going to show you some great skills today. The MLC300 Maxer crane is being ran with precision, Josh is setting another piece of the super structure in place on pier 6. Ames Construction has the best crane operators in the area!

Crews make progress on Don Welge Memorial Bridge in Chester, Illinois

Chester Bridge construction update for 8-22-2024. Yesterday I was fortunate enough to catch them setting the counter deck (the back of the crane) in place. Shout out to Cliff Buehler and the crew from Morrow Equipment Company. He was on the cat walk giving radio directions to Dicky down in the Manitowoc MLC300 on the ground. I was able to follow one of Dicky's lifts from the ground up and that was pretty cool. These guys have nerves of steel! There is no way that I could do this job! RESPECT! Am

Chester IL bridge, 1-12-2026. I was able to get a good look at the guys from PJR & Associates pulling cables on the new super structure on pier 5. When they get a few cables on, they will put the prefabbed concrete slabs in next. I'll show you the wenches that pull the cables up to the cable stays that are built into the pylons. Someday I will get up there to the top to show you whats in there. For now, Enjoy! #chesterbridge #donwelgememorialbridge | Neal Adams

Chester Bridge update, 9-18-2025. Usually I post about the construction and the bridge workers. Today is a little different. I was fortunate enough to get invited by Darren Mueller and RMC Readymix LLC to tag along with their parent company, Breedon Group from England. It was an awesome visit, I got to meet some new friends! Chad took us out on pier 4 bridge deck for an in depth tour. I have to say I felt a little bit emotional standing out on the end of the bridge over the water knowing at this
