Some bridge photos, plus two ways to say goodbye to a pothole
Posted on June 4th, 2008 – 6:05 AMBy Roadguy
The other day, Roadguy went down to the new 35W bridge. As usual, there was plenty to see and photograph, so I tried the Strib’s new photo-sharing application — click on the pic below to check it out.
We’re still kicking the tires on this (I’m hoping for larger displays, for one thing), but what’s handy is that now you, the alert reader, can directly upload your own transportation-related photos and captions to a category called Road pix. Be sure to give me a heads-up if you post something so I can link to it.
In other news, remember the Welcome to Work Pothole? Well, on Monday, I was quite surprised to see that, thanks to a dollop of asphalt, it is no more:

And on Tuesday, of course, I got reassigned to a different parking lot. It’s a better spot, but we’ll see what sort of topographical treats await.

Hey Roadguy,
Is there any idea when the span is going to be joined? Is there going to be some sort of ceremony?
Great pictures……..
if I could see them.
The size of the pics leaves MUCH to be desired.
The photo sharing thing is neat enough, but as Dave G (and you) noted, there definitely needs to be an “embiggen” function.
Got my behind the scenes tour (only because I work for the right agency. Check it out.
