Photo taken from CN Line looking across Thompson River to CPKC line. Old stone arch still in use on mainline. Does anyone know if the scarring below the right end of bridge is evidence of stone being cut and dressed for the bridge on-site?

Since when did people start wearing caps and knickers?
Also, our cellphones stopped working and the car's GPS screen went blank.
There was a lot of construction on the George Washington bridge, and we decided to avoid it. Instead, we took the Steamboat Ferry to get across the Hudson River. Everyone kept staring at our car, but I'm not sure why.
I sure hope it doesn't fall the wrong way and clobber the New TZ bridge! My guess is that the people handling the demolition really know what they're doing. I'll be out on the Piermont Pier shooting video with my camera.
After crossing over the majority of the new bridge from Rockland County to Westchester, I pulled into the breakdown lane, got out of the car and shot a few photos. The new bridge has a steel mesh fence to prevent jumpers, but it also makes it REALLY difficult to take photos. The mesh openings are tiny and I to had place my camera's lens deep into one the minuscule holes to get this image. (the other photos didn't fare so well!)
I live in Rockland County, shown on the far side of this 1954 photo. It's amazing how rural it used to be before the TZ Bridge and the Thruway were constructed. Over the decades, the County has become extremely suburbanized once the bridge allowed people easy access to what used to be a very sleepy and semi-rural place.

Pylon and stairs at the new fixed bridge being built over the Saint Johns River in Volusia County, Florida.
It's totally surreal to see the bridge I've driven across hundreds of times in the past several decades looking like this. You can still see some of the road supports or abutments, but the roadway is gone and instead of a connection to the main span, there's just a large empty gap.
Here's a cool video from the mid 1950s when the original bridge was under construction...

The old bridge was built in the mid 1950s and was one of the first bridges to be designed by computers. It had a life span of only 50 years and has been patched and repatched for decades. With three narrow lanes, no place to break down and a rusting infrastructure, its finally time to say goodbye to old faithful.
As a critical component of the New York Thruway for both cars and trucks crossing the widest point of the Hudson River, the old TZ is finally being retired.

Sligo Bridge is a 5-span Parker Through Truss Bridge over the Caney Fork River on US Highway 70 and is seen on the right in this photo. On the left is its replacement that is currently under construction due to a 'structurally deficient' rating on the existing bridge. I believe the anticipated opening of the new bridge is scheduled for sometime next summer (2015).
The original Camelback Bridge Spans were replaced and elevated with Parker Spans in 1948 when the river was impounded. The total length of the current bridge is 1,374.6 feet.
If you are a "bridge fan", you have a limited amount of time to get to the White County and DeKalb County line in Tennessee to see this one.

Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D5200 and combined with Photomatix to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.
