The foundation


If you click on the picture, you can see a bunch of little H's in the dirt.  Those are steel beams (piles) driven 25 feet deep in the dirt.  This will eventually hold up a concrete footing that will hold one side of a bridge span.  The piles make sure that the bridge footing won't sink into the ground, which is kind of bad for bridges.
