MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - More than a year after a key Minneapolis bridge collapsed and killed 13 people, state troopers prepared to lead motorists in a slow procession Thursday morning across the new span that reconnects Interstate 35W over the Mississippi River.
Crews were scheduled to remove barricades that have stood since the old bridge fell Aug. 1, 2007, reopening a major artery leading in and out of Minneapolis that carried 140,000 trips a day.
Might be a great time to drop a note or call the Funk, Ed and Russ regarding our bridge. Let them know we are still here...and waiting.
