Interesting that they're using precast beams for this elevated segment.

Man. The generation-over-generation improvements of precast beams. I can see the Expo Line out my window, but looking at this picture... My goodness they're so low profile that I'm drooling. mad.

I take it, it's a scheduling thing. The truss is the fastest way to get elevated segments in place..... but if you can get a perfectly acceptable precast job still going on at the same time elsewhere, you get double productivity of course
