  1. The bridging equipment referred to is very likely the device installed to do the final paving, which spans the roadway and is mounted on rails which are temporarily mounted on the the sidewalks on either side. It’s basically a truss floating about 4 feet about the surface . No wonder the resucue crews had to remove the roof of his car had he been walking, he might well have slipped on the icy surface, but the bridge was passable
    The roadway itself has been scoured and seems to be awaiting a spell of warm dry weather for final paving.
