I'm almost (but not quite) interested enough to go watch Thu night.

If you like watching paint dry go for it... its a painfully slow operation jacking structures such as this. I have been involved with (and paid handsomely for) jacking/realigning some large structures..
Likely this bridge is being jacked to allow reconstruction of pier caps and bridge seats to meet current standards for seismic etc...
To my eyes that is not an old structure, but it looks odd the there is so little clearance between the bottom of the beam and pier caps...
The jacking procedure may be so slight s to "break the dust" between the bearing and bridge seat...
Its equally impressive as hell and yawn inspiring..
