Nemadji Bridge

According to the county transportation department, this bridge is toast. Within two years - sooner, if President Obama's stimulus package stimulates the county transportation department, a lovely little 1920s' work of art will be gone, replaced with goodness knows what. One of the reasons I fell in love with this place was the bridge. It's seen better days, true. A massive early repair erased some of its original grace. Ditto for the reflective signs that obscure its curved abutments. Yet it remains beautiful. I never tire of looking at it. I hope there is a way to persuade them to grant this beauty a stay of execution.



It doesn't look that bad . . .

Noooooooooooooooooo! Save the bridge! Maybe you could get them to sell it to you for a dollar and put it over your pond. Or add it to the house as a deck. Or something.
