These guys were absolute legends. I’m so glad they renamed the bridge in honour of them.
i was in the Operating Engineers for 38 years and 8 months. These guys were my favorite to work with, along with the rodbusters 416. I have been retired since 2017 and I miss the guys....especially this group. What a tribute to these men. RIP to all
God bless the fearless Ironworker, for he erected this world from the ground up with spud and beater in hand.
Respect from Local 709 Ironworkers Savannah Georgia 🇺🇸😉👍
Actually carpenters first and last
RIP!!!! I remember a project we were involved with: The owner insisted that the footings be twice as strong as the building code called for. Better safe than sorry. Some sayings never go out of style. A stitch in time saves nine.
Respect to these men I worked on a site I rode across this bridge countless amounts of time never truly knowing what happened to why it was call iron worker memorial Bridge RIP from a fellow iron worker
