Collapse from Stone Arch Bridge250 viewsIf you enlarge the picture, you can see some of the green structural members jutting upward, as well as some of the concrete decking in the river underneath and the lock/dam structure. In the background is the 10th Avenue Bridge, where most of the later pictures in this album were taken (it was closed at the time we took the ones on the Stone Arch Bridge).

Collapse from 10th Avenue Bridge246 viewsThis was one of our first glimpses as we started walking along the 10th Avenue Bridge the day after it re-opened. The 10th Avenue Bridge was just a block or two from the 35W bridge, so the details of the collapse were much more clear.

North pier tilted245 viewsThe north pier was tilted badly toward the river, but this is likely due to the collapse, not the cause of it.
