With painstaking precision, a crane operator hoisted a massive beam of concrete and steel and moved it into its place above Topsail Road in St. John's on Saturday morning. It was one of 16 spans that will make up an overpass on Team Gushue Highway — the long, embattled project of the provincial government to link the city's west end to the Outer Ring Road. (Submitted)As of noon Saturday, five spans had been put in place, with the 16th expected to be completed sometime Sunday. The first section of the highway was opened in June 2006, months after a 26-year-old Brad Gushue won Olympic gold in Italy. (Ryan Cooke/CBC)Since then, the provincial government has spent nearly $40 million on the highway, with an additional $13.7 million set aside this year for the completion as far as Topsail Road.
