Les Voyageurs, by French artist Bruno Catalano, in Marseilles, France. The sculpture is meant to evoke memories and parts of themselves that every traveler inevitably leaves behind when they leave home for a new shore.
Tim and Sue met while they were studying Fine Arts in University together. Now they are best known for their art made from trash collected from the London streets, which shows an image when light is projected in front of it.
The art is created from old car parts, recycled metal pieces, and anything the artist could get her hands on. Van der Westhuizen has installed several of these trash sculptures all over Europe.
There are two bridges at this crossing. The older steel truss bridge is known as the Cass Street Structure. The new steel arch bridge was added in 2005. It is known as the Cameron Avenue Structure. Together, they are called The Mississippi River Bridge. The 87 foot tall arch for the Cameron Avenue bridge was built in a dry dock downstream and floated into place. This allowed the main channel to remain open for shipping during construction. The Cass Street bridge is being rehabilitated during 2005 and 2006, with all traffic routed on the Cameron Avenue bridge during the project. When completed, the older bridge carries US-14 and US-61 west to Minnesota, while the newer bridge carries US-14 and US-61 traffic into downtown La Crosse.
The older bridge has a single entry in the National Bridges database. The newer bridge, however, has three entries. The approach spans are treated as separate bridges from the arch section. The lengths and NBI numbers are:
Note that adding these three lengths ends up with a number that is longer than the officially reported length of the entire bridge project. I find these types of numerical discrepancies to be common.
