This photo captures a nighttime girder set for a new bridge over I-25 in Colorado as a lightning storm moved through the area. The brief flash of lightning illuminated the worksite, blending natural and artificial light in a unique way. It offers a look behind the scenes of large-scale infrastructure work, showing the coordination and commitment of construction crews who keep projects moving forward despite challenging conditions. The image reflects both the precision of engineering and the unpredictable beauty of the environment surrounding it.
