Days Before Demolition

Here’s an image of the Sarnia Road bridge that I posted a detail image of the wires a couple of days ago. This historic bridge – that had been at this location for 102 years – was demolished a few days after I took this shot. Its one lane feature slowed people down a bit and made them be more courteous. Although a grey day when I shot this, I thought I should show you what the whole structure looked like before ‘progress’ decided it was obsolete.

A geometric pattern is created by the top part of a quaint, old, one-lane railway bridge that used to be on Sarnia Road in London. The bridge was built in the 1890s in Manitoba and relocated to London in 1909. It was demolished in 2011, a few days after I took this shot, to make room for a new bridge.
