These first pictures are from before the construction of the new bridge.
The new bridge visible in this picture, its slabs of concrete looming above the historic bridges. That's a huge bridge, and a lot of tax-payer dollars just so people don't have to use the steering wheel as much...
According to some historic pictures I have, the concrete abutments originally looked like this when the bridge was first built, but I have seen less old pictures that show pipe and concrete guardrails on the abutments of this bridge. A closer inspection revealed that the restoration of this bridge removed the modified abutments and rebuilt these new abutments that are true to the original design.
You can see how new the cement looks in this close up shot.
Autumn zoom on the trusses.
Detail of the new concrete deck.
Luke Gordon shot a couple photos of this bridge for me while on a vacation, from the new and extremely ugly slab. You can see that the bridge is closed to traffic.
