Overview of east approach The following four photos are the predecessors to the current bridge. The truss structure was built in the 1930s as part of the plan to build US Hwy. 16. The Hwy. was delegated to county status when I-90 was opened in 1978. This bridge remained until 2002. Photo taken in 1998 by Jason Smith |
