You're right, Cheryl: it DID used to be green. I had almost forgotten.

HUH?!?!? Did sheldon really just say that. I have no idea what to stay. This is older than any bridge you post and it is infinitely most interesting and historic. This bridge belongs on an historic website unlike your POC UCEB's that belong on a bulliten board in your room. Look in the mirror before you scrutinize others.

For whatever reason, the NBI had this steel rigid frame bridge listed as a deck girder. Even though it's a new bridge, with a 1973 build date, it's very unique and interesting looking.

i remember when the bridge was green... it was always my first sign that i was almost home after a long time away.
