[edit]Why isn't the Washington Avenue bridge mentioned? It is between the 35W bridge and the Cedar avenue bridge.
- It's actually two downstream.--Appraiser 02:39, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
Name
[edit]This bridge connects 10th Ave. SE with 19th Ave. S. A long time ago, I gather, it connected with Cedar Avenue to the south. But when I look at both Google maps and Mapquest, it is still labeled Cedar Avenue Bridge. Is there any documentation to support the name 10th Avenue Bridge?--Appraiser 13:12, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
- In MnDOT's plans for the 2007 35W Rehab Project, the bridge is labeled as the 10th Avenue Bridge. --Gopherbone 17:25, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Effect of the I-35W bridge collapse
[edit]I noticed that this bridge seemed to be closed after the I-35W bridge collapse. If looked like it was being used by rescue/recovery teams. Should this be included in the article? Was it damaged by debris from the I-35W bridge? Is is now open to the public? --rogerd 17:17, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
- It wasn't damaged, but it has been closed, I think to prevent live video of divers pulling body bags out of the river. I suspect that soon after the remaining body is recovered, the bridge will reopen. I think they'd like to have it open before classes start at the U. It's probably not necessary to add anything about the bridge collapse in this article.--Appraiser 17:29, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for the update. In light of what you said, I agree that we don't need to put anything in the article. --rogerd 17:47, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
- Mn/DOT announced that it will re-open mid day on 8/31/07. The lane closest to I-35W will be dedicated to pedestrians.--Appraiser 15:04, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
Remaining Pier(s)
[edit]Section on the old 10th avenue bridge currently mentions the remaining piers visible, though the last one in the water washed away in early 2023 (judging by satellite imagery). I think this only leaves one left, on land right on the north bank. Should this be updated? Source 10 is also broken here. Cstromw (talk) 04:17, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
