The bridge is near Lock and Dam #1 and I believe the bottom part of the picture below is where the boats come up to the lock to be raise and lowered.
Looking downriver towards the 35W Bridge
These photos were taken back in August 2009

I've not seen that before, next time we're heading to our daughters we'll have to check it out.
Interesting and I love the pictures. I am hopeful you are sleeping better and that the medicine for restless legs is working well. Take care and have a nice weekend.
I love bridges - this is a pretty one!
I love the old stone bridges, and it's great that its now a pedestrian bridge. I'd love to go walk across it!
Interesting history- it's a beautiful bridge.
nice shots, i've always enjoyed bridges. love the yellow flower. or is that a weed? ( :
Such a beautiful landmark and historical building !
This is a beautiful bridge and I'm glad it's been preserved as a pedestrian walkway. Thanks for sharing these beautiful pictures Barb.
neat bridge. i liked the 'pillsbury' signage in the background, too.
Very nice photos, Barb! I never tire of your posts. They are always beautiful. Thanks for your nice words to me. I want no more snow. It is cold here still but yesterday it got about 33° and it honestly felt warm. Weird how that happens.
Stone bridges are special. I never tire of seeing photos of them. Yours are especially nice, and I appreciated the information you gave us along with the pretty pictures. Nicely done, Barb.
Very neat bridge! I love the stone work. So unique.
Beautiful, I love the stone arches.
I love those stone arches of that bridge...it is a beauty.
Very cool bridges, but I do like the arches!
The old bridge could be in Italy or France - what a lovely bit of heritage for the city.
What a pretty bridge! I'm glad it is being used and kept in good condition. :)
I'm glad they didn't tear the old bridge down. It's a beauty.
A lovely bridge and it was well worth preserving.
I like the unique tower the electric lines are on and the vintage Pillsbury sign as well.
Great photos. I think old stone or covered bridges are so romantic.
Hugs,

This is so pretty! I am always fascinated by the bridge building process. It is amazing what they can do!

Hope you are feeling better, sleeping well with quiet legs. So sorry that Trish has decided to cancel her Watery Wednesdays for awhile. Love that bridge!!

Hi Barb, Nice to "meet" you ..it is always nice to read about someone else in Minnesota..even if they are from the Southern Part..banana belt! I enjoyed all your photos of old buildings and barns! :)
Love the way the arches reflect on the waters. Something very pleasing architecturally about this style of bridge. We're getting a new bridge but it won't be this beautiful.
