You can learn more about the CRANDIC bridge here, before it collapsed. It was 105 years old.

Thanks for posting those. They bring back memories of the drive home after graduation in '93. With 1 out like that, I bet that attendance at homecoming and reunions is down this fall at Cornell.

I thought of you as soon as I saw those pics - but I bet 1 is up and fine by fall. The Hawkeyes aren't waiting for FEMA, they're already working.

You're welcome - I found the slide show of highways and bridges to be stunning. I know many of those places because they are along the Lincoln Highway, and I know many people who live along there. Now it's the people in Missouri and Illinois who are getting it.
