Update on demolition of the bridge in today's Tulsa World.

Another one yesterday. I guess the bridge comes down in the next three months.

Looks like it's finally coming down.  They've set up the road barriers on Archer to divert traffic away from the bridge.  I asked the guys who were setting up the signs, and they said it was supposed to start demo today (3/13/09). 

I assume you have to move slowly.  They can't block the railroad tracks (and I don't see any sort of scaffolding or protection down there.)  And they haven't blocked off the parking lot on the south side of the tracks, where people park sort of "under" the bridge. 

I'm just glad to see some action.  Now...did we ever come up with ALL the money needed to rebuild it???  (That little bit in the 3rd penny was not even half, if I remember correctly...)

Have heard cranes are in position to start disassembling the bridge.
