After the 35W bridge collapse on Aug. 1, 2007, a new bridge was quickly completed and re-opened on September 18, 2008.
Here the new bridge and the reflections frame downtown Minneapolis. I used the image averaging technique as described in my Bridges of Minneapolis shot.(www.flickr.com/photos/pauld507/21737716166/in/dateposted/)
The bridge can be lit in many different colors and changes depending on holidays, events or special requests.
Borghetto Di Vara, Italy
The old bridge was damaged by the flash food of 2011. Each stone was numbered in preparation for a controlled dismantling and planned reconstruction.

However, it collapsed during the night while we were there. All the numbered blocks were carefully collected as part of the clearing up.
Out the check the river at the Wisconsin 94 bridge, it was super high, too high. Decided to cruise up the road and low and behold after a few minutes of looking out the window for a electrical tower i had spotted, i see this huge field of debris! I thought it had to be from the 35W bridge collapse, same color. But how, and why way out here near Wisconsin?
Anyways, i had to get in there, new spots are so rad. I found an easy way in, (over a big fence with mad gear) and saw the twisted and mangled remains of the bridge. It was totally unexpected and fun. ∆
The collapsed bridge is right behind the hydroplane. The Guthrie is just off to the right as we are near the west bank of the Stone Arch Bridge.
Here is an amazing collection of pictures:

I was eating dinner 2 blocks away when it happened.
We heard an unusual amount of sirens and suddenly vehicle after vehicle went screeching by with lights and sirens on.
Then the restaurant manager told us the bridge is gone. How can you even grasp that?
Tadcaster Bridge or Wharfe Bridge spans the River Wharfe in Tadcaster, North Yorkshire, England. The road bridge is believed to date from around 1700.It is the main route connecting the two sides of the town and one of two road crossings in the town, the other being the bridge for the A64 bypass. Tadcaster Bridge partially collapsed on 29 December 2015 after flooding that followed Storm Eva.
History
The first bridge is believed to have been constructed around 1200, using stone from Tadcaster Castle, and the current bridge was built around 1700. Each of its seven bays has a cutwater and arch supporting the roadway and parapet. Built of Magnesian Limestone, the bridge was widened in the 19th century on the upstream side. It was listed at Grade II on 12 July 1985.
The bridge on the day after the collapse
Concerns for public safety led to the bridge closing to pedestrians and traffic on 26 December 2015. The town started to flood the same day as a result of heavy rainfall following Storm Eva, and on the evening of 29 December the bridge partially collapsed. It caused the gas main to fracture and prompted the evacuation of hundreds of residents. Without use of the bridge, traffic can cross the river only via the A64 which is grade separated and requires a long detour. Pedestrians can cross the river using the Tadcaster Viaduct.
This past Friday, I set out for a sunrise shoot over a freeway at Detroit Metro Airport. As I was getting to my location at 6 AM, this accident came over the news, so I high-tailed to this instead...
A Roll-Off Dumpster Truck with it's sled boom raised and traveling at a high rate of speed, hooked the Cathedral Street Pedestrian Bridge over the Southfield Freeway, M-39, in Detroit, Mi, on September 26, 2014.
Fortunately, there was nobody on the bridge at the time of this accident (this is a designated school crossing for Cody High). However, the driver of the truck, who was not wearing a seat belt, lost his life later at the hospital. There was only one other injury, and it was minor.
The Michigan Department of Transportation person in charge and the Michigan State Police Incident Commander were gracious enough to permit me full access to the scene, while they worked tirelessly to ensure the area was kept as safe as could be. I have nothing but respect and adoration for the emergency personnel on-site.
For the rest of the photos from the scene,
These are the remains of the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse in Baltimore, MD that I-695 crosses.
The bridge collapsed on March 26, 2024 as a result of the container ship Dali crashing into one of the support piers of the bridge.
This is the SUV my mother and father were in during the collapse of the bridge on 35W. They escaped from the vehicle, crossed over to the northbound lane, and got off the structure on University. They both doing fine. We are relieved they are so fortunate.

Another view of where my parents were during the collapse. Their car is the black Nisson Exterra near the left guardrail, with the passenger door slightly ajar. My father said that a construction trailer with two workers on it rolled past them and over the edge.

Thanks to Digicord and their new photo for unknowingly sparking up the building bug again.
