There is a bridge upstream that's almost two miles long called the mills ahne bridge, if anybody has any pictures on this bridge could you please post it. It's a damn shame that our bridges are becoming aesteticly ugly. I used to know of two parallel blue steel truss bridges over Lake St. Croix (St. Croix River) in Hudson, Wisconsin. They must have been at least 3/4 of a mile long and now they've been replaced with simple, boring box girder bridges and a long causeway. Out on Lake Oahe (Missouri River) in South Dakota there is two huge steel truss bridges across it about 40 miles apart. They have got to be both over a mile and a half long. Two lanes... very scary! Long live beautiful steel bridges.

My Great Uncle helped build this bridge. Do you have a list of the people who helped build this bridge? Or do you know if a list of employees is still available?
Desperate to locate information.
Thanks
