Anywhere from 10-16 pieces of equipment work on excavation for the Lake Road 5-89 bridge. They moved approximately 29,000 cubic yards of material in a 12-hour shift at this location.

Big rocks require big machinery! A huge boulder was unearthed during the excavation for the Lake Road 5-89 bridge. It's being pushed by a D11 Caterpillar, one of the largest bulldozers available.

On Thursday, August 10, Congressman Ike Skelton toured the Camden County Route 5 construction site. Joe Martin, a MoDOT construction employee, tells Congressman Skelton how the culvert box behind them will help control drainage through the area.

MoDOT Central District Engineer Roger Schwartze tells reporters and other state and local officials about the progress made so far on the grading and excavation.

A local television station films Congressman Skelton's tour of the project area. Several other state and local officials, including State Rep. Wayne Cooper and Camdenton Mayor Kerry Shannon, accompanied him on the tour.

This truck can hold approximately 60 cubic yards of earth. Once the truck is loaded, it moves to another location at the site and dumps its haul so a bull dozer can work it into a fill area.

The walls of our 84-inch diameter pipes are specially designed to support an enormous amount of weight. The pipes will eventually be covered by 65 feet of fill dirt.
