35W Bridge At Night

Last Saturday we went to see the new I-35W bridge in all its evening splendor. For anyone living under a rock, the old bridge collapsed August 1, 2007, killing 13 and injuring over 100 people. The new bridge opened September 18, 2008. Anyone who wants to know more about the collapse can look here.

I guess they had originally planned for white lights on the bridge, with colored lights for special occasions. But something malfunctioned that they can't fix until spring, so we have blue lights instead. I hope they keep the blue lights. I think they are pretty.

Here is a view from a different angle. I had one more shot I wanted to get, but it didn't turn out. I guess that give me an excuse to go back and try again some time.










Here are a couple documentary photos I took in the daytime back in October.
