Demolition started on the Harney Street bridge over Interstate 480 at around 9 p.m. Friday night. By 8 a.m. Saturday, it was mostly gone. Hawkins Construction is doing the demolition work. Interstate 480 should reopen by Monday. The Harney Street bridge will be completely rebuilt to accommodate the streetcar project. Completion is scheduled for late this year. The exact same thing will happen next year on the Farnam Street bridge one block to the north.
