As Maxwell Smart might say "Missed it by that much!" That is how close the span is from being completed for the Nrthbound lanes. They are claiming to have both spans complete yet this month and hope to have i-35W open again shortly after Labor Day. We heard a report that the cables on Big Ben (the crane lifting the segments up to the bridge) snapped yesterday, slowing progress alittle. Luckily they weren't lifting a segment at the time.
Here are a few shots we took on a long bike ride to Minneapolis and back We also stopped for dinner at the "Old Spaghetti Factory" in downtown for dinner.
A link to our route.
