It was a sad day in Kentucky when the final section of an 84-year-old bridge wasdemolished.
The 60-foot section of Milton-Madison Bridge between Kentucky and Indiana was taken down in anepicbut controlled explosion.
Traffic was still able to cross the same area by a replacement bridge built along existingpylonsalongside the Milton-Madison.
Work will now begin on widening those originalpiers. The final steps come later this year when the new bridge will slide onto them, onto what is thought to be the longest bridge slide ever in North America.
Difficult words:demolish(break completely),epic(big and cool),pylon(tall structure which carries something),pier(basement of the bridge).
