Have been looking for this pic for some time. This bailey bridge over the Montreal River on the west side of town was removed in 1998 (thanks for the info Paul). It was a one lane bridge that held up the trucks and cars quite often. The road all through town was upgraded in 1994.

You don't think about history until it's gone, about how roads and bridges made(and continue to make)us what we are and how often we blithely surge forward without a pause or moment of silence for the past. Thank you for the moment this gives me, of silence, of gratitude and also regret.
Have a good day.
It is very nice to see that old bridge again. I can;t count the times we drove over that bridge. It also a little sad as it brings back fond memories. Thanks for putting the pic on your blog.
Great pics Bill.
