Last Span of Madison, Indiana's Bridge Comes Down-- Part 1


From Wikipedia.

Referred to as the Milton-Madison Bridge (also Harrison Street bridge), it connects Madison, Indiana, and Milton, Kentucky, and carries UD-421 across the Ohio River at that point.

I had known that the bridge was to be demolished and saw in Friday's USA Today a small picture and caption: "The last section of the old U.S. 421 Madison-Milton Bridge is brought down with explosives Thursday in Madison, Ind."

Some 10,000 cars a day use it as it is the only bridge over the Ohio River for 26 miles upstream and 46 miles downstream at Louisville.

Reason for its demolition were that the old bridge was considered "functionally obsolete" and "structurally deficient."

More to Come. --RoadDog
