Bayonne Bridge Header

Springtime seven years ago, the roadbed that had existed on the Bayonne Bridge was breached,  In a controlled manner, of course.  Steps in the transformation are captured here.  April 3, 2017 was the day this vessel, Maersk Kolkata, came through the opening that dismantling had just created.  Here were moments before that happened.

As I took the following photos yesterday, I realized I hardly ever

think about the previous shape of that bridge,

the new configuration has been seared into memory, what else would the Bayonne Bridge look like, I think.

After all,

bridges are forever, 

until we think about it.

All photos, any errors, WVD.

No, they’re not.

By the way, I wondered about the tanker name Arrebol.  It wasn’t familiar and didn’t sound appealing until I looked up the derivation.  Nice!
