Looks like the bridge deck has been capped and probably nearly ready for some weight on it. Not sure when it's going to open to traffic.
Crazy to see how much higher the road surface is than the old half of the bridge. Has more of an arch to it where it's maybe a full two feet higher up in the very middle.
Photo update below.

East-bound traffic on Long Street was switched over to the north (new) side of the bridge a few days ago and demolition of the south (old) side began this weekend. Just took a few photos this afternoon and it's already nearly half gone:

Long Street Bridge Demolition Almost Complete
Published on February 19, 2013 4:30 pm
By: Brent Warren
Demolition of the Long Street bridge over I-71 should be completed by the end of the week, according to ODOT. The demo work started in April of last year, when half of the bridge was taken down and work began on construction of the new bridge. That new section is now open for traffic, allowing for the demolition of the remainder of the old bridge. Cars, buses and people have been able to cross the freeway on Long Street throughout the entire project.
