As many of you know, I spend a lot of time photographing and looking at bridges. There are many bridges in Pittsburgh (more than any other city in the world, in fact), but now that there is emphasis on what bridges have problems, and need work. We also have more bridges with structural problems than anyone else.
The death toll is lower than initial estimates, and that's good. What is bad is that this was the most travelled bridge in the Minneapolis area. It will cause havoc with the traffic for a long time to come.
Well, I've never seen or photographed this bridge, but here is a swell picture another guy took of it, if you want to see the bridge when it was standing!
