On a much smaller scale,...That will be interesting. On a much smaller scale, a similar set of three bridges exists in Folsom California. The original riveted iron structure was dismantled and sold to another town, when the more modern concrete structure was put across the American river down stream from where it exits Folsom Lake. (Near Folsom prison...for any Johnny Cash fans out there...). Not too many years ago the old iron bridge was brought back and reassembled on its original piers as a pedestrian/bike crossing. Several years ago a big modern multi-lane unit was installed downstream of these to help with traffic congestion due to the growth of this area. Maybe I'll go photograph these for a post sometime...

They...They missed their chance with the new design. They should have built a replica of the rail bridge with the road on it. If nothing else, it would have photographers flocking to take interesting pictures of 'the twins', and just think how much good pr they would have got.mr.combohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03684236389777529281noreply@blogger.com
