Once again, a photo for no particular reason. This is the Water Street bridge between Pittston and West Pittston. It's been closed for several months, and I sincerely doubt whether it will ever see traffic again.
It's the NEPA Syndrome. We wait until something is too far gone to save, and demolition becomes the only option. It's a beautiful, majestic bridge. They no longer build them like this.
Take photographs while you can.
Upon further review, like Florida in 2000, I nearly pulled this one out of the "Raison d'Etre category. The federal government Friday decided to kick in $ 19 million to fix or replace this bridge and its upriver cousin.
I look forward to seeing the plan.
