Looks to me like one of the new MLC-300 cranes with the variable position counterweight. Driving or pulling pile between the old span and one of the new approach spans (from mats on the new approach span). Had a lot of boom on it for pile driving though, I'm guessing around 300'.
Thankfully sounds like the traffic injuries weren't too substantial.
