New bridge day

A panoramic view of the new toonerville bridge (over the north yard throat of Brooklyn Yard)

As part of the construction of the portland-milwaukie light rail line, the old creaky bridge over Brooklyn Yard was torn down to be replaced at a later date. Well, it’s apparently that later date and the steel for the new bridge (from Rhine St instead of from Lafayette St) was put up either yesterday or today.

I’m sure it will also be rickety sooner or later, but hopefully not in my lifetime.
