The first one: what in the world happened to all that steel from the old bridge (pictured above)? The answer: “The steel became the property of the contractor, who is in the process of recycling it.” I’m guessing that’s a pretty good deal for them; steel prices have risen steadily in the past few years, from my understanding.
The third one, and I don’t have a photo to back this one up that I can remember: I noticed that the lights under the bridge were only on for a short time, and not all of them were working. Are they off until the bugs can be worked out, or is it a seasonal thing? The answer: “Tests are being performed on the pier lights to determine the best effective radiance.” I can’t wait until they’re on for good. They look VERY nice.
Those are the only questions I could think of pertaining to the Memorial Bridge. It will be very weird starting our first year with the new one. All traces of the old one have gone. We have the new riverside parks to look forward to, however. I can’t wait until it’s warm enough to enjoy them!
