Old Us 52 Bridge To Be Replaced

A bridge along old US 52 in Indianapolis is going to be demolished starting this month and then replaced. I live not far from this bridge; I think I ought to go over there with my camera before it's gone!

 

I have had a hankering to do a US 52 trip from Indy north. A lot of this road was left behind when its routing was run down I-65. There's a few miles of a four- and five-lane segment on Indy's Northwestside that at certain times of day is just barren, but at one time was a major way into this town.

I had heard they were going to replace it, but I didn't know it was going to be this soon. You can also get some good pics from I-65, too, since it's just a few yards away.

 

I love US 52. It was just last summer that we drove it all the way from the Canadian border back to Indianapolis. We drove some nice old alignments through Minnesota.
