Whilst Riding Down Shepard Road…
By Mitch Berg
…Sunday morning, I had that odd feeling.
Something wasn’t right.
Something was missing.
As usual, that little bird in the back of my head was right:
Can’t slip a thing past me.
Later in the day on Sunday, I did something I hadn’t done in eleven months; I rode up to the 35W River Bridge. I rode out onto the 19th Street Bridge (a span I didn’t even know existed until I saw it on the coverage of 35W – which shows you the tunnel vision you can get driving on an interstate bridge), and saw the two spans dangling in mid-air, extending toward each other, maybe forty feet apart, even closer than in this Daily Digital photo from last week:
They’re at least another row of segments closer than they were in this picture.
