At five o’clock on Saturday morning, when the night’s frost broke, the wide expanse of the new overpass had begun to melt into the lake. It was a slow ballet of sixty-ton rolling equipment and massive wedges of uncured concrete, all of it slowly sliding off a base of loose sand and broken granite, bending the surface of the road until the asphalt surface was hanging unsupported above the water. Then the roadbed broke in half and the rest of the embankment sank down, describing a slow parabola as it settled toward the water.

The yellow bulldozer moved like something prehistoric. It rolled faintly, pulled by gravity and its own kinetic force, directly to the bottom of the lake. Gradually the bulldozer disappeared, a submerged machine under the surface, sinking slowly deeper.

The second piece of equipment to fall into the lake was the roadbed roller. A half-empty dump truck followed. There was only one bulldozer left, but the embankment was mostly gone by this point, the pylons that had kept the cars off construction now kept them away from nothing except air. The old highway was edged only by a ragged, seven-foot-wide piece of asphalt, on which a wheelbarrow and a bulldozer slumped.
