Bruckner Expressway Bridge

Nathan:

Don't worry about the trolls on here. The nasty comment that somebody left has been deleted. Unfortunately there have been a few trolls that have popped up on here every now and then. That seems to happen to just about every message board on the internet.

Trust me, I have had plenty of grenades thrown at me back in the day. The best thing to do is just keep contributing and ignore the one or two anonymous negative people who come crawling out of the woodwork on occasion.

Well, Sure. I’ll stop commenting about bridges since you’re asking me nicely.

Like Robert, I have chosen to ignore those comments as simple observations and move on.

I do recognize others' complaints, though. It is not within the scope of this forum to suggest replacement, we do not make those decisions, nor do we typically favor replacement.

I sometimes wonder if one of the regulars here is posting comments that others seem to find annoying under two names.

My observation is that this particular bridge has a technical drawing, but not a photo. (So far.)

I'm not gonna die on this hill, just seconding that it's unnessecary, not to mention counterintuitive to historic preservation, a goal espoused by many here.

Eh, I figure that there a bigger hills to die on...

I also figured that some movable bridges will eventually get replaced by non movable ones. In fact it is happening already. The Pocahontas bridge in Arkansas comes to mind. I drove over that one not realizing how soon it was going to get blown up.

Or we can make it known that he doesn't need to comment on every single movable bridge entry, implying they need replacement because they aren't opened

If his comments are factually incorrect, then we can correct them them. If they are neutral then just ignore and keep scrolling if they bother you. No need to drop bad words...

I'm going to have concur.

Not with Robert, but with telling Nathan to stop, as his comments don't really add anything of value to the site.

Let's keep it family friendly...

I thought this bridge still operates, but since the traffic signals are no longer there, it looks like it no longer operates. I think it’s time to get this vintage movable span replaced with no draw span.
