July 23, 2010- Scenes from the demolition of Sunset Bridge. Behind sound blankets, two hoe rams, resembling giant mechanical elephants, pound away at the span of the Sunset Bridge over the I-405. Soil was placed below the bridge to catch falling pieces of concrete. A hoe
ram pulls down steel rebar hanging from the Sunset Bridge. Sparks from acetylene torches indicate where rebar is being cut. The metal will be recycled. Under a nest of steel rebar, loaders scoop up fallen concrete. The contractor is Kiewit Infrastructure Group. Download 7-minute b-roll at http://www.metro.net/news/pages/press-kits/

  • @rickMrick01 That was the North bound lane the was open. This was the south half of the South bound lane that was being demolished

  • Those hoe-rams can break any material known to man. I run them and it's amazing how well they break massive concrete structures. Also, as a young boy, I watched that bridge being built. So strange to witness it's end.
