I remember crossing that bridge with my parents 50+ years ago. Toll used to be a dime.
Reminds me of the bridge crossing Mingo Creek on Admiral at the Traffic circle in Tulsa Oklahoma forty three years ago.
They tore the span out, spent months working on it, traffic detoured through neighborhoods, then they finished it!
YEA! Then someone looked at the blueprints and went...Uh-ho.
They forgot something important. Bridge closed again, tore out. Before it was finished the area was hit with the Memorial Day Flood. It was finally finished but many businesses closed as a result of the delays and flood.
Heavy construction always takes longer than estimated and costs more than estimated. Especially when the government is involved.
Been a long time to use this bridge.
