Talk:10th Avenue Bridge

Untitled

Why isn't the Washington Avenue bridge mentioned? It is between the 35W bridge and the Cedar avenue bridge.

It's actually two downstream.--Appraiser 02:39, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Name

This bridge connects 10th Ave. SE with 19th Ave. S. A long time ago, I gather, it connected with Cedar Avenue to the south. But when I look at both Google maps and Mapquest, it is still labeled Cedar Avenue Bridge. Is there any documentation to support the name 10th Avenue Bridge?--Appraiser 13:12, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

• In MnDOT's plans for the 2007 35W Rehab Project, the bridge is labeled as the 10th Avenue Bridge. --Gopherbone 17:25, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Effect of the I-35W bridge collapse

I noticed that this bridge seemed to be closed after the I-35W bridge collapse. If looked like it was being used by rescue/recovery teams. Should this be included in the article? Was it damaged by debris from the I-35W bridge? Is is now open to the public? --rogerd 17:17, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

• It wasn't damaged, but it has been closed, I think to prevent live video of divers pulling body bags out of the river. I suspect that soon after the remaining body is recovered, the bridge will reopen. I think they'd like to have it open before classes start at the U. It's probably not necessary to add anything about the bridge collapse in this article.--Appraiser 17:29, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the update. In light of what you said, I agree that we don't need to put anything in the article. --rogerd 17:47, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

• Mn/DOT announced that it will re-open mid day on 8/31/07. The lane closest to I-35W will be dedicated to pedestrians.--Appraiser 15:04, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Remaining Pier(s)

Section on the old 10th avenue bridge currently mentions the remaining piers visible, though the last one in the water washed away in early 2023 (judging by satellite imagery). I think this only leaves one left, on land right on the north bank. Should this be updated? Source 10 is also broken here. Cstromw (talk) 04:17, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
