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.

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
