Inside the Third Avenue Bridge

The Third Avenue Bridge is a beautiful S shaped bridge from 1918 that connects downtown with St. Anthony Main.  It was repaired in 1980 and needs more work again. Concrete has chipped away in unsightly patches and graffiti ruins the grace of the old bridge. When I have walked by the base of the bridge on the St. Anthony Main side I've noticed the scattered trash inside that first section of the bridge.

That little fence is not much of a barrier to this section of the bridge. I have wondered about what was inside other than trash. 

There is some interesting stencil work on the near wall but not much else that is worth viewing.  There are 3 to 4 bags of trash inside that space.  I picked up one bag.  The rest can be another walk.
