Drayton Bridge
Posted September 27, 2012, by K. A. Erickson

With the completion of the newer, "built to withstand 100 year floods" bridge in October 2010 time was ticking on the fate of the old Drayton Bridge ... ticking in that on February 22, 2011 NDDOT decided to throw a party and blow it to smithereens ... Smithereens, North Dakota.
