Loss of a Landmark

 

I took this picture of the old Del Rio Bridge east of St. Anthony yesterday afternoon. We have ridden across the bridge more than a few times and I am a little nostalgic about its removal. The bridge, a local landmark, was constructed 83 years ago. As part of the project to replace the bridge, workmen constructed a 45 foot high platform and successfully relocated the 600 pound osprey nest from the upper portion of the bridge.
