Out on the line
Some time before I started obsessively bikeriding, the Springwater Trail’s Circle Ave Bridge was damaged by flooding and taken out of service. It spent most of last year and this year sitting there forlornly (as well as being unofficially used by various trail users who didn’t want to take the Circle Ave detour) and was finally demolished in july. And now, almost exactly 5 months later, the new bridge has finally been put into place (you can see the boom of the crane that was used to set the new span into place on the left side of the picture) as part of the mad rush to get it done before the last minutes of 2009 drain away.
(photo taken with my 55mm Super-Tak & Autostitch – I took about 35 pictures of various bits of the bridge, then let autostitch try to paste them all together. The big version of the photo is huuuuuuuuuuge, and no doubt contains enough stitch artifacts to provide hours of amusement.)
