With just a few quick blasts and a puff of smoke, Advanced Explosives Demolition workers imploded the 700-ft-long main span of the Milton-Madison Bridge on July 23 to make way for a new crossing over the Ohio River.
Connecting Milton, Ky., and Madison, Ind., since 1929, the old bridge is being replaced with a wider truss that Walsh Construction will slide into place—all 2,400 ft of it at the same time—later this year.
