35W bridge in Minneapolis

I have not posted much recently ... I've been busy and "POOPED OUT"!!
These are some photos from the road. The first four are taken while driving over the new 35W bridge in Minneapolis. It opened just this week after being re-built. You may remember the news of the old bridges collapse last summer.









... a few more pictures from the city. I am in Minneapolis about twice a month.

So is this the bridge to somewhere? I keep hearing about the bridges to nowhere...(smile)

Just kidding. I've traveled the old bridge a few times. It was tragic to hear about the collapse. It's nice to see the new pictures up close and personal. Welcome back! I hope you got some rest.

Daisy said...

Hi Speedy! I like seeing the new bridge. The fourth photo is my favorite. It almost looks like someone did some skywriting there and wrote the word JOY in the sky. You know me, always looking at the clouds. ;)

Hope you can get some down time soon so you can relax and be rejuvenated. You're probably still run down from being sick last week. Take care of yourself. It's good to see you back online. :-)

Sherry said...

Busy Bear said...

Cool blog!

OXM said...

I would have been scared just being there. But taking pictures, too?

I was shaking the whole time I drove over the Bay Bridge a week after an accident. I think I'm at the early stages of not-dealing-well-with-bridges.

Michelle Gartner said...

OOOOOOoooooo Minnesota- Wisconsin's sister state. Scary you live a stones throw away.

ping tink ping tink crashh

That's the sound of me throwing stones at your blog.

Shinade said...

Hi Speedy,
Now why does that bridge look familiar?

We were there I think just a couple of weeks ago.

I'm back after 5 months and didn't even bring you a chicken.

I hope you will forgive me. I have missed everyone and have a ton to catch up on.
Hugs,
jackie:-))))

Hey Speedy, that sounds good to me! I've got my dancing shoes and my sparkly red dress ready whenever you have your next dance party. ;)

You get out the disco ball and I'll bring Gloria Gaynor and Donna Summers and the Bee Gees over with me. :D

Have a great weekend, Speedcat! :-)
