With the overlaying concrete gone, a backhoe started wrenching out its first piece of structural steel at the going-down Casey Overpass in Forest Hills, as Clay Harper shows us.
This weekend, the state is scheduled to shut the overpass towards Morton Street, which will free workers to rip the whole thing down.

Since everyone loves tilt shifting now they should tilt shift the whole overpass and use a Tonka truck to disassemble it.

so often used where they're not even necessary, helpful, or interesting.

Sheesh. It's a hasty cellphone pic and I monkeyed with it to help convey information and "tell the story". Hastily. But if you prefer, spot the beam in the original here:

Closes permanently to vehicles on Saturday.
At least one group who walked over Thursday evening included some of the local volunteers who particpated in the planning meetings and who have been defending the project ever since.

I sure wish they'd hurry up and take down McGrath highway overpass. It's a real eyesore, and it divides the city of Somerville like nothing.
