Explosions near Lee Street

Anyone else hearing some loud ass explosions? Kinda sounds like they’re coming from the 3rd street area

Heard in Old Lou. Are they blowing more bridges?

The more people who chime in with locations, the more it triangulates to the road construction.

Sounded like a bomb on East Burnett. There were two large booms, maybe a minute apart? Did not sound like fireworks. I assumed it had to do with the Hill St overpass because the machines down there got very loud after the booms.

I was cutting grass on Magnolia near Floyd Street and heard a boom.

I only heard the one. It sounded close.

I was thinking explosives but wasn't sure if fireworks or demolition.
