Riverwalk foundation work returning to Clark Street 3-Jul-14 – The Clark Street Bridge will be closed for two days next week so that work can be completed on the Riverwalk foundation below the bridge. The bridge was closed over two weeks in June. It will close again on Monday, July 7 at 7 a.m. and re-open sometime on Wednesday, July 9. 72-foot-long caissons are being pounded into the riverbed underneath the bridges at Clark, Dearborn, and State Streets. The caissons are then filled with concrete. They will anchor the Riverwalk to bedrock below the Chicago River. As announced last month, the State Street Bridge will be closed for seven days in mid-July but dates and times have not yet been released. Workers will get Friday, July 4 off but could be back on Saturday, thanks to Monday night’s heavy rains. Although the Chicago Department of Transportation says there was no significant damage, flooding along the Riverwalk did interrupt work and, says CDOT, they may have to make up for some lost time. http://www.marinacityonline.com/news/clark0703.htm

That's not a Texas boom that's a Chicago boom |

Lol no no. It is called a texas boom when you use system and a crane to make the boom longer. It is a old school way of doing things. Not recommend. |

It appears they are using an excavator not a crane, so maybe it is a Chicago boom |
