Has construction on the gosh-darn UCEB even started?
A few pictures from Friday, December 21, 2007. Spoke with the county on 12/21/07 and like Janis said the State will be building a new bridge next to this steel truss beginning in 2008. The project should last about 2 years but they have no idea what the State plans to do with the steel truss. Is there any type of a clearing house for these old bridges that can possibly be saved and used elsewhere such as a park?
Webmaster's note: The photos that were here have been incorporated into the main site.
This is bridge 6533159. It is still there, and it is spectacular. See it quickly, though. It's scheduled to be removed in 2008.
