New Bridge (Nybro) has got old.

I blipped Nybro on the 22 July, opening to let boats through, but now it has opened for the last time. The present Nybro is version 2, built in the 1900's. Tthe first Nybro was a swing bridge, built in the 1800’s.
Over the next two years Nybro will be demolished, and rebuilt as a swing bridge, like the original. I will be blipping the progress of this project.
The jetty pictured here, photographed from the bridge, was started a while back but is now being extended across the water. The piledriver is modern but the technology very traditional. Sharpened pine trunks are driven into the mud and then cut to the right height above the water. Steel crosspieces are fixed to the trunks, and squared of trunks, super strong “planks” fixed to them as the top layer. Once a section is completed the piledriver rolls forward and starts the next section.
The extra shows the builder’s yard with all these items piled up, waiting to be used.
I wonder when the bridge I’m  standing on will be demolished. First the temporary replacement bridge will be built. But that’s another day and another blip.
I was viewing this project while I waited for Jan to emerge from our GP. Later I did a good walk along the South Sound as I waited for her to emerge from our local X-ray department, then I did a much longer walk in Sundsvall as I waited for Jan outside Sundsvall hospital. Since Covid doctors and hospitals discourage partners/helpers from coming in to the surgery or hospital, hence my long sunny walks.
Jan has the details of her day in her blip.
