A strange bridge over Canal Street

One of the more ornate features of the West Side Elevated Highway was the bridge constructed over Canal Street and opened to the public in February 1939. In November 1982, the bridge was ripped down and sold for scrap. I'm not sure of the exact date of the photography above (courtesy the Library of Congress) but it's clearly after the entire elevated highway was closed. Notice the weeds growing from the highway partition!

Sorry, notes from the podcast and regular posts will be on the way in the next few days.
