The old bridge will be blown up next March or April. Someone has already won a raffle to be the one to throw the switch. I am very interested in seeing how in the world they retrieve all the peices from the river. They have to close down all river traffic for a few days.

They will have one of the building implosion companies explosively cut it into big sections around 100 feet long and pull them out with a large crane on a barge.

Thanks swervie. That makes sense. I was picturing them having to retrieve small peices. I am still excited about seeing it, though.
