I-74 Bridge

Here is the I-74 bridge.  This picture was taken on a lovely spring night, as I walked along the river parkway on the bike path.  The colors in the sky were gorgeous.


This is a suspension bridge, designed by Ralph Modjeski, who was born in Poland around the time of the Civil War.  He studied under one great bridge builder, and trained many others in his career, and built dozens  of bridges over the major rivers in North America.  This one carries over 77,000 people a day back and forth between Iowa and Illinois.
