Cairo, IL Bridge Tour

[freewaysuggestor]

I am guilty; if curious @FreewayTitan then don't ask ME WHY. Just look at the video of I-294 from 80 to 88

Nice job on the editing, thanx for taking the time to do it............I remember when they had one lane down and the other closed and while you were driving over you could look right down thru the bridge floor and see the river ..........CrAZy man

[FreewayTitan]

@dblup157 Thanks!

[interstateruler]

I like the bridge. I also like the Beetles song

[FreewayTitan]

@Santaarnpaal Thanks!

[CAMINOANDALUZ]

That was a interesting Video, these bridges are very rare in Europe ... Thanks for the vid!!!

Nice work on the video. It's sad to see what happened here. This city could have been huge with its location.

[FreewayTitan]

@eluko79 It might have. If you read the history of the city, however, that would've been a stretch.

Thanks!

I thought the I-57 Bridge was bad enough when I last used it over 10 years ago.

[aswchris]

Wow Cairo lost almost 80% of its population. 15,200 in 1920, 12,100 in 1950 and 3,600 in 2000.

[FreewayTitan]

@aswchris Yeah it's not a very pleasant place. If you ever here in the States, I suggest you come see this. It was really death by racism.

[aswchris]

Nice video. You know, cantilever bridges are actually pretty rare in Europe.

[CptSchmidt]

Next time you should drive around the pyramids :P

[soxrk]

stop here!

[Freewayjim]

Surprised to see a bridge (I-57) that new (1978) built without shoulders.

[FreewayTitan]

@Freewayjim Now that you say that, I would have to say the same thing. The older ones were even more claustrophobic!!

[georgiaroadgeek]

Nice video and photo montage. Sad to see what Cairo, IL, has become. :(

[FreewayTitan]

@georgiaroadgeek Yeah it's crazy. GO THERE if you get the chance.

THanks!

[SeceretSantaSisters1]

Will you do some more videos in Madison?

[FreewayTitan]

@SeceretSantaSisters1 I actually have a video of the Beltline I never uploaded from June 2010. I might but that up in the coming weeks. 

[SeceretSantaSisters1]

@FreewayTitan Thanks, great video by the way.

[Bryant5493]

Nice video. Loved the use of the Beattles here. Great work.

[WickedWings07]

Excellent video and pictures. That bridge going into Kentucky sure looks narrow (especially with those semi units on the other side) lol

[FreewayTitan]

@WickedWings07 Yeah, and I will admit. I get nervous in those situations.

[FreewayTitan]

@WickedWings07 Thanks!
