London Bridge is Falling Down

This is the end of the old Roslyn Viaduct, built in 1949. Here is a line from a newspaper article back in 2005: "The Roslyn Viaduct, the nondescript and little-loved half mile of rusting steel and worn concrete that carries Route 25A over and past the village of Roslyn at the head of Hempstead Harbor, is an aging relic of Long Island's postwar highway-building boom." Wow, beautifully written! They have already removed the northern half of the old bridge and replaced it with a modern segmented concrete box girder bridge. Now they are dismantling the south half of the bridge. How many times have I crossed this bridge? One time I even walked over it. It does have a beautiful view of the south end of Hempstead Harbor. The New bridge is quite elegant, with sweeping curves. I will show you a photograph of the new bridge when the construction materials are removed from underneath.
