The steel attached to the crane is the pile driving hammer, used to drive the piles. The rods in the water are a pile driving template. It is a frame used to line up the pile while it is being driven.

From Project Manager Kevin M. Lundgren, P.E.:
"All utilities have been relocated underground to be clear of construction. The contractor is now working on widening the pavement on the east side. This should take approximately one week. At that point they will begin demolishing the bridge on the opposite side."
