Hamilton Street Bridge
This bridge was actually totally destroyed by an overloaded truck. It had such elagant portals and huge historical significance and was such a tragedy to lose. Anyone who operates any type of vehicle for work or a living should know the weight and obey posted weight limits on bridges! For crying out loud the US 421 bridge was just a block away!
