The Bellaire Interstate Bridge is one that should be saved, for all the reasons you listed, but probably won't.
With the iron and steel bridges having served so many years, I feel the public should get behind the restoration and moving of such bridges if the need arises to move them Demolition of these bridges is robbing society of a lot of history. Battle Creek, Michigan( Calhoun County) has saved several by dismantling and moving them to an area where they cross a small stream and are subjected to foot traffic only. I'm not sure if the bridges are totally restored, but they all look as if they have been. I don't know who does this work or who sponsors the project, but I am very thankful to whoever is doing it. It is sad to see an old bridge sitting neglected, with trees growing up through and around it. These bridges are doomed to fall into the stream someday.
The old iron bridge is a landmark. It would be a tragedy if it were to be demolished. Build a new one soon, but please keep this bridge intact!
this bridge has alot of old memories PLEASE KEEP IT!!
keep the bridge but build a new one please
keep the bridge but build a new one please
