    It was sad to see the old railway bridge dismantled and gone from Port Huron. I always used to be fascinated by it while viewing it from Sarnia. Excellent video Paul. 👍

    Hello Paul, you did a great and impressive coverage, but it's so sad that you had a reason to do this. To see this technical monument getting destroyed is a real mess. The bridge wasn't used for a long time, but it showed the "art of work" the engineers did in these times. Thank you for a great video.

    I'm sad to see it come down; I grew up in Sarnia during the '50s & '60s and saw it those days almost every day, even a few times when trains were crossing it. Port Huron's skyline will always be different.

    My Dad worked on this bridge returning from WW2. In the 60's it was our Huck Finn play ground as kids. We would fish there on the wooden piles and climb up the ladders on a dare.

    Shame on the Yacht club and the State of Michigan for allowing this Historic bridge being brought down.

    I would have thought it would much safer and easier to demo in the down position, but they didn’t ask me. Maybe it couldn’t be lowered. Keep us updated if possible. Thanks!

      The bridge was last operated in 1973, and was last reported as operable in 1978, but was never used after 1973. It probably would have cost more to make the necessary repairs to lower the bridge than it would have been worth for the Yacht Club. But that's by my assumption.

    Pre atom bomb steel, must be good for something, maybe a bridge or something,,,,,,I agree with the fella that said it would have been easier to take it down when it was down. But then, everything looks easier from shore.

    Would it had not been easier to have lower the bridge and then take it apart? Surely if it's up it would come down

      Lift mechanism possibly no longer operable. Even if lowered once dissasembly begun operation probably no longer feasable as structure balance/integrity would be off. Even tho demolition easier w/bridge down the waterway would be closed for the duration which might not have been acceptable.
