Cooper River Bridge In Charleston SC

Glad to see i am not the only one that misses old bridges once gone.

These old Charleston bridges had a lot of memories with them, now both have been replaced.

Re: Cooper River Bridge In Charleston SC

nowadays old steel bridges are replaced with precast concrete monotubes which lack character.
