By Today's Letter: River bridges can teach us plenty
Published October 19, 2007

Bridge links us to more bits of history (column, Oct. 12)

I've been very glad to read your recent articles about bridges over the Hillsborough River.

These bridges have been an interest of mine for some years, to the extent that I wrote my master's thesis about construction of the Lafayette Street Bridge (that's the Kennedy Boulevard Bridge now). Earlier this year, I wrote an article for Cigar City Magazine about the Fortune Street Bridge. While doing the research for both of these projects, I took notes whenever I saw something about one of the other Hillsborough River bridges, so I have accumulated a bit of information.
