Jaros' needs patronage...
There is no creative latitude in designing bridges anymore. Owners want cheap, maintenance-free structures that provide much the same aesthetic quality as the faux wood grain plastic siding on the suburban houses you allude to. The keyword is 'cheap.'

I didn't know the truss was just a facade. I just think that Minneapolis deserves better than the utilitarian mediocre bridges they build now. That might be fine for you, or some boring suburb, but I think I'll pass on that greenie. :P

truss = façade
sufficiency rating = 0
Or did you mean the steel beam span holding it up?

Check for yourself.

LOL a sufficiency rating of 99.9? Go back inside Tony Jaros' and have another Greenie.
Remember the Edgewater Inn?

Thanks for posting this. A nice memorial. I just watched this bridge implode this morning; what a sight! This was a pretty cool video.

Thanks Josie! I missed it this morning, but lucky there were other videographers there.

So that's where they get the "greenie" beer served at the base of the bridge at TJ's for so many years. Well at least we can drink in rememberance. Too bad though. I've been collecting footage on at least two swing bridges in the area.

Well one of the "Bread Basket" designs has it's railings colored green. So perhaps that element will remain.
