Florence bridge in Oregon.

Part of this bridge opens in the middle for ships to pass. In one of the towers a control room located with the original switches, lights and instruments from 1936. I could not get a shot of the room as it was off limit to the public.

This bridge needs lots of repairs and nothing has been done. One of the segment you'll see the crumbling of the concrete support, exposing the rebars inside. I assume there are other places as well showing the age of this structure.

It's really a beautiful bridge when you look at all the details they put into design and workmanship. I tried to give you a glimpse of those marvelous workmanship in the 1930's.

If I had all the money in the world, I'd 'buy' this bridge and donate millions to restore to its original condition. Maybe the lawmakers should pass a legistlation so people can make millions of dollars available for projects like this. This is more useful than putting corporate names on stadiums and sport arenas.
Don't you think?
