Over view of the north side of the bridge Some friends of Birgit and mine took us to the site of the I-35W Bridge to get some photos and look at the situation as it is since August, 2007. Surprisingly, I caught a rare glimpse of the bridge without the 35W counterpart- the first and probably only opportunity available since 1966-7 Photo taken by Jason Smith in December 2007 |

Close up of the spandrel This photo was taken just outside the construction site of the new I-35W Bridge. Since it has been barracaded off to all visitors, I was able to zoom in as much as I could from outside the construction area. Photo taken by Jason Smith in December 2007 |
