I was born in Bismarck in 1967. I live in Arizona now. That bridge was the best whenever we crossed it going over to Midway Lanes in Mandan as a kid. You could hang your head out the window and look at the river below.  Wow, what memories! Of course, we didn't have to wear seatbelts back then. haha
