The South Grand Island Bridge is a pair of twin two-lane truss arch bridges that span the Niagara River between Tonawanda and Grand Island New York. It is the second busiest bridge operated by the New York State Thruway Authority. This post contains outtakes from a photo shoot where I was hired to capture crews performing bridge upgrades at night.
During an evening shift one lane of the bridge was closed for the duration of work while two prescheduled bridge shutdowns gave crews up to 15 minutes to accomplish tasks. Lane closures were coordinated between the general contractor, NYS Thruway Authority, State Troopers, and the prime contractor performing the installations.
One of my goals for this shoot was to accurately capture the atmosphere of construction at night. I worked the site from 4:30pm to 12:30am.
