A detail shot focused on the latticing, bascule spans & upper chords of the historic cortland street bridge, seen from behind a chain link fence (due to construction work). The naming / dedication plaque is visible between interlacing steel beams in the top left hand quadrant.
A vertical view while walking down the still-open pedestrian passageway across the cortland street bridge, as it undergoes repair work. The yellowish wooden bridge tender house is visible in the background, where a construction worker leans against the railing and watches the work of a tall red construction crane.
