Descripción

"If you were to travel the length of the Mighty Mississippi, you would pass under 219 bridges. VOLUME I took us under 86 of thise magnificent structures from New Orleans to the edge of Minnesota. In this volume we travel the length of Minnesota up to the very headwaters of the river. We pass under 135 well-traveled bridges.The Mississippi River bridges are a varied froup from a row of rocks and a single half-log in the Itasca State Park to award-winning deck-arch spans in Minneapolis. There are mystery bridges, privately owned bridges, bridges that work as entertainment centers, pedestrian and bike bridges, both low and high railroad bridges. Many styles of bridge structure are represented in this final section of the Mississippi and can make the state of Minnesota proud." This book has 298 pages and is profusely illustrated. PLEASE NOTE!!!! The author has included the INTERSTATE 35W HIGHWAY BRIDGE in Minneapolis, which tragically collapsed during evening rush hour traffic. The detailed description is four paragraphs long, providing a detailed history of the bridge, as well as describing the archtecture. In addition, Ms. Costello includes her own artistic rendition of the bridge, the best picture/drawing being done from water-level.
