A Bridge So Far - Part Four

Work continues on the Buck O'Neill Bridge which will be opened in October 2024.  This weekend several roads were closed including I70 West by Downtown so that the existing ramp from I70 to I35 could be removed. Above, is the view looking west from Third and Broadway on the westside of the City Market.  Below are two views of what the finished product will look like.  ( courtesy MoDot)

Nocturnal Wanders - West Bottoms

Visiting the past at night is always interesting. When even warehouses were treated as art. 

 

Trains Of Thought

The rail lines in the West Bottoms used to bring thousands of cattle into the stockyards each day.

That time is long past, but the lines are still heavily used for freight.  Great place for train watching.
