August 18, 1951, Appleton Post-Crescent
The Racine Street Bridge marks 68 years of service this year. And although the bridge is still safe for use, it looks as though it'll be replaced in the next few years. I thought it interesting to look back at the opening of the bridge in 1951 and present a few stories I've culled from the archives. In the days to come, I'll feature stories on how that dedication day was celebrated and a few "what if" scenarios that describe where the bridge could have been built instead of its familiar location. It's "Bridge Week" at the blog!
