A worker uses an oxylance torch to gut out the interior of the viaduct bridge, making it easier to demolish the exterior. The torch can reach temperatures of 1500 degrees. Workers from Lunda Construction started tearing apart the bottom and the sides of the bridge last week. The deadline for completion is November 2002.
