I'm going to miss the Fulton Road bridge demolition!

I just saw on the news today that the Fulton Road Bridge is coming down tomorrow, and I'm going to miss it. I'm kind of bummed out about it.

The bridge is just a couple of blocks from where I used to live in Cleveland. It has been a landmark as much as it has been a continuous danger, since before I was born. If you've ever been to the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, and walked under it, you wonder how it managed to stand as long as it did.

The bridge is visually very impressive, maybe in part because it looks like an ancient archaeological find, it's in such bad shape. I was always fascinated by it though when I was growing up. It just seemed like such a fascinating piece of engineering. I look forward to seeing the replacement when it's finished.

Apparently it was a big bust today. After two attempts to blow up the bridge, only one arch fell. They are supposed to try again on Monday. I was working down at school on a neighborhood clean-up project and was looking forward to hearing a big boom.
