This truss bridge, dating to 1938, has finally lost all appeals and will be demolished. Traffic causes it to shake so badly that high shutter speeds are needed for a clear photo. At least the nearby railroad bridge will survive:

Scanned Kodak Tmax 400 film, shot with a Voigtlander Bessa found on ebay.
Update 2009:
The Earhart bridge is scheduled for replacement by a modern four-lane span with construction starting in 2009. The old span will be made available to anyone who can move it to a new location. Anybody need a beautiful bridge?
