Spiders On Parade

These are actually dowel bars used in pouring new concrete roadway.
I'll post another photo to help put them in context.

  Very cool abstract shot and follow-up over-all shot and info Bill! Here they still use the criss-crossed re-bar and hand tie them together. It is fascinating to watch the workers tie the steel knots so quickly. I always enjoy seeing and learning new things so thanks for sharing!!

  Thanks so much, everyone!
This method is called slip form paving.
There are no forms, the stiff concrete stands on its own
Murry, we do tie steel on bridge decks like you mentioned.
