Built in 1968, this bridge carries US 52 (the Lafayette Freeway) over the Mississippi River and some rail lines. It's a rather ugly plate girder bridge in what could have been a location for a landmark bridge, but is scheduled to be replaced in 2011. There was some concern, especially after the 35W bridge collapsed, that this one could as well due to its low rating and lack of structural redundancy.
