Watch live from Lansing, Iowa, as the Black Hawk Bridge is blown up, bringing a dramatic end to the 94-year-old riveted cantilever bridge over the Mississippi River, connecting Iowa and Wisconsin. The bridge will be replaced by a new span estimated to cost $140 million.
Rip. Also if anyone thinks WE have a niche forum - check out one of my favorite websites: https://historicbridges.org/index.php
Working on a bridge in the middle of nowhere with absolutely no info from the local DOT? Don’t worry a local enthusiast has compiled enough pictures and notes to design the project themselves lol
I love classic Web 1.0 sites like this—thank you for sharing! And holy crap, the “bridge’s song” took me tf out…not remotely what I was expecting lmao
Okay it’s over.
I guess the rivers frozen enough for it not to fall through?
lmao the video goes from bridge up to bridge in water in 1 frame
livestream must have hitched from the sudden change in bitrate XD

shouldn’t they dismantle it? or is it cool to just dump things like imploded bridges in the mississippi?
Still hasn’t happened yet. News said it was supposed to happen 30 minutes ago.
Black hawk down

Black Hawk Bridge? Why, it’s been gone for 30 years! In fact, tonight is the anniversary…
