The 64’ wide road closure has 7 center posts and is 8 stop-logs tall or about 6 ft. These pictures are from the test assembly done by the contractor for the city employees and the engineers. Once the main flood wall was completed and the framework for the removable portion installed, the road closure section can be installed and removed in less than 15 minutes.
