This bridge is a beast, built in about 1932 and using enough concrete to construct a skyscraper. It is huge, elegant, powerful and a real looker. Here is the underside of the bridge, which is just as lovely in its way as is the top and sides.

Gosh...it's been a long time since I've seen the underside of Memorial Bridge. In the late 50's, growing up in Virginia Heights, a group of us would walk or ride bikes through the neighboring areas. In the summertime if we happened to wander down Memorial Ave., it was a welcome relief to sit in the cool area underneath the bridge. I'm not sure but at one time I thought there were horseshoe pits.
ReplyDeleteWas wondering what that was. It's a horseshoe pit. Big and concrete with sand in he center. Cooooooooool.
