Sheehan Pipeline Construction worker Daniel Currie of Manhattan helps drain a section of pipe Monday as cranes and backhoes lift and literally shove it under the Cottonwood River near 190th and Remington roads a mile west of Marion. The process, called directional boring, is much like driving a drinking straw through a block of Styrofoam. Recent rain and warm weather have been obstacles for the pipeline crew.
