I-35W Mississippi River
bridge
Cache IS at the
listed coordinates.
See specific logging requirements below!
The I-35W Mississippi River bridge was an eight-lane, 1,907 feet
(581 m) steel truss arch bridge that carried Interstate 35W across
the Mississippi River in Minneapolis, MN.
At 6:05 pm on Wednesday, August 1, 2007, during the evening rush
hour, the main spans of the bridge collapsed, falling into the
river and its banks.
The replacement of the collapsed I-35W Mississippi River bridge
will cross the Mississippi River at the same location as the
original bridge, and will carry north-south traffic on Interstate
Highway 35W. It is under construction on an accelerated schedule,
due to the highway's function as a vital link for carrying
commuters and truck freight. Mn/DOT announced on September 19, 2007
that Flatiron Constructors and Manson Construction Company will
build the replacement bridge for USD $234 million, to be completed
no later than December 24, 2008.
More information, pictures, and video of the bridge collapse can be
found on Wikipedia

LOGGING
REQUIREMENTS
The purpose of this cache is to create a picture story of the
rebuilding of the 35W bridge. In order to log this cache you
must:
1. Bring a digital camera with you!
2. Park near the listed coordinates. Street parking is available.
3. Walk to the Picture Location waypoint listed below. You
should be standing at Reserved Parking Spot #23 Do NOT park
here! It's private parking!
4. Take two pictures. One facing across the river (north)
and one facing toward the city (south). I took two today so you can
use them as an example.
5. Now walk back to the listed coordinates and find the
cache. There is obvious foot traffic in the area so please,
please, please make sure you rehide the cache very well so it will
last. It's a small, silver bison tube hanging
on the fence, nestled in the wood.
6. Your log entry MUST contain two pictures of the bridge
construction. You can not reuse old pictures.
The cache owner reserves the right to delete any logs that don't
follow the specific logging requirements or that have reused
pictures.
