Bridge out!

I rode past the Spring Street bridge on Sunday for a look-see. The necessary makeover is ongoing, and looks to be only about a fourth of the way along.

Upon closer examination, there's actually a big chunk of the bridge entirely missing.

Obviously, no way to sneak across there, so it was back up the ramp and eastbound on 62. Here's a view looking back toward New Albany. The frame object leaning against the guardrail is the remnant of a gas grill.

Needless to say, traffic can be very heavy, and the shoulder is not clean in the least. I've been pushing the bike for the two hundred yards between Beharrell and S & S.

If people have not seen the side view of the old bridge they should, because it is a great design from days gone by.

Have come to not mind the white line ride over the new bridge, but will be glad when our old path returns.
