Demolition of the US-2 Escanaba River Bridge, 2015
After decades of use, decades of curious visitors, and decades of legal tape trying to get this great old bridge demolished, it finally happened during the summer of 2015. The old US-2 bridge over the Escanaba River between the towns of Wells and Larch was torn down.
Below, you'll find photos and video of the old bridge in its decaying state, the actual demolition taking place, and how the area looks now.

Yeah, it was kinda dangerous before it was torn down, but it sure was an incredible-looking old structure.
