A Note From Minneapolis

Post by Wesley Tucker » Thu Aug 02, 2007 11:56 pm

I got the following e-mail from a friend of mine in Minneapolis:

Hello,

I am still here. And so far I haven't heard anyone I know being directly
involved in the 35W bridge collapse. But a few friends happened to just
avoid being on that bridge by only a few minutes. I rarely use the bridge.
I live and work north of the river so I don't have much reason to cross it.
See attached.

I live at #1, work at #2, do engineering stuff on campus at #3 (I was there
last night). I cross over 35W alomst every day on University Ave and 4th,
but I don't cross the river. I used to work at #4 and #5 and I used to live
at #6 and #7 at various times since 1999.

No word yet on the cause of the bridge collapse. Traffic will be a
nightmare for a few years, but I live close enough to work to ride my bike.
