85 million dollar bridge

For the past couple of months I've wanted to take a picture of the new bridge that is being built near our home to replace the existing bridge(which is behind the new bridge), but I never had my camera with me in the car. But I finally remembered to bring my camera with me one day last week. I wish you could see better how the bridge is being built from each side and is not connected in the middle yet. Maybe when I remember my camera in another couple of months, I'll post another picture. We should be driving across the new bridge(which does have a name, but it has been changed recently and I don't remember what it is) in December. The left pylon that you see will have an observatory deck to go up to and see the beauty around. I plan on going up sometime, but I'm not sure if I'll get any of my family to go up with me. It's weird to think that Eleanor and Zach will only know this new bridge since the old bridge (hancock/waldo bridge) will be taken down when the new bridge is completed. I'm glad we'll have some pictures of both bridges together to show them.

I loved bridges as a kid (and still do as an adult)! I do' know why... I mean, they are fun to drive over. But I think it's more because it means you are leaving one place and going somewhere new?

Lol! Can't quite say what I mean! But there is soemthing fun and amazing about crossing water by car!

I KNOW THIS BRIDGE!!! We vacation at Green Lake every summer, and we drive through Bucksport to go to Camden and Lincolnville for restaurants and sight seeing. So December, huh??? We were hoping it would be done by this summer. It's been a long time coming, hasn't it???
