Downtown St. Paul is in the background. The new Smith Avenue span replaced a truss bridge dating to 1889. That century-old bridge, the highest in St. Paul, was deemed structurally deficient in the late 1970s. Weight restrictions were imposed and the bridge was demolished in 1985 ahead of the replacement project. (Richard Marshall / Pioneer Press)]( "STP-L-THROWBACK-0619")
