The end is near

This stately old bridge, built in 1905 and rehabbed extensively twice, crosses the Mississippi River at Lowry Avenue, linking north Minneapolis to northeast Minneapolis.

Less than one month from now the LB will be exploded into the river. Already, construction workers have removed the steel mesh deck -- one of the LB's more distinctive aspects--and removed tons of concrete and utility stuff.

This photoblog is a eulogy in progress.
