Documenting the New Motorway, #7: The Overpass for the Forest Animals
As Corpus Christi is a bank holiday in Poland, I thought it was high time to post something here after my tardiness over the last month. I don’t know what happened to the blue tits in the last post: one day a couple of weeks ago, I woke up and went to check on them to find the apple tree empty, with only a flurry of tiny grey feathers scattered about on the lawn around the tree. Oh well.
Anyway, today I decided to take a look at how things are progressing on the stretch of new motorway closest to my house, which has cut a swath through the local forest. Here are a few photos showing how this section leaves the ground on low supports to allow passage for the forest animals. Progress seems to be going well, but time is running ever onward: this part of the motorway is due to open in August 2020, just 14 months from now. And apologies for the image quality: I took these around 6.30 pm this evening and the light was fading.
In other news, one of the hens has been brooding on a dozen eggs for the last almost-three weeks. As soon as they hatch, I’ll post pictures of the ugly, smelly lumps cute, adorable chicks here. Stay tuned!
