I went through here on the river as it was being dismantled. It is sad to see these old truss bridges go away, as the new ones are so plain and boring.

Sorry for no more closer shots. Was running out of daylight far from home ;)
New ugly bridge is well on its way, though this old bridge is a bit scary with the lack of modern guardrails or curbs.
