The Northwest Face

When I shot this bridge last Summer, I didn't really think of it as a historical structure, so I never placed it in the database. Given the terrible flooding in Cedar Rapids this week, the assumption that all of these Cedar Rapids bridges are totally inundated and the failure of the CRANDIC railroad truss, this bridge may, ironically, be history.

Here it is, as it appeared in August, 2007.
