Sprague Street Bridge

It's kind of sad watching the Sprague Street Bridge in Readville come down. Not only does it just feel like it belongs where it is - a faded relic of a faded industrial past right in the middle of a train yard/junction - it has all these really cool shapes and angles that will be replaced by some boring looking concrete thing. At the same time, if it must come down, a temporary pedestrian bridge next to the old span lets you get a really interesting, up close view of a bridge being slowly taken apart.

Two years after it was initially scheduled for replacement, Readville's gateway to East Dedham, the Sprague Street bridge, has finally been shut down for demolition. The Joe is none too pleased that the project will take two years:

WTF!?!?!? I NEED THAT BRIDGE!!! The detour is like 10+ minutes!! It's useless to use the detour cause it will be quicker to go someplace further away! ARRRGHHH! ...
