Structural engineers will put a pedestrian bridge over I-40 this weekend. Work crews will stay busy overnight Sunday to install the addition to the historic American Tobacco Trial. The bridge is a major step in adding four miles to the American Tobacco Trail that connects the existing portion to a stretch that ends at the Chatham County line.

Ed Venable, an engineer on the bridge placement project, says I-40 will have to be shut down to put this bridge -- now in four sections -- in place.
