If there is any good news out of this demolition thus far, at least it was the newer truss that was dropped in to the river. The 1960s bridge is obviously far less significant than the 1907 Bridge although it would be best if we did not lose either one.
I REALLY hope that there is some chance of saving the 1907 Bridge.

I was out at the bridge today, 1/27/2008 at 4:30PM.
The photo is heading westbound on the north bridge, near the east end.
