Holdrege Bridge is Falling Down

By: Mr. Wilson on July 22, 2009
That troublesome bridge on Holdrege Street near 17th? It's about to become history, to be replaced by a pedestrian bridge. In a weird way that makes me a little sad. We used to park our car on the far side of the bridge and then walk over it to the State Fair. Now that I think about it, I have an odd number of memories associated with a bridge that I only rarely used. Oh well, best to take it down before it comes down on its own. We don't need that kind of liability hanging over our heads.

I’ve always liked that bridge too. Can’t quite put my finer on it. Maybe it was the curve of the road. Glad it’s not just going away.

Always thought it was a bit scary to ride my bike over that bridge, sidewalk was pretty narrow, but didn’t really want to be on the road when cars came screaming over the ridge.
