42POSTCARDS FROM THE PAST — Eau ClairePhoto by David TankPublished by Carl G. Johnson Co.Water Street bridges have had a pretty poor track record. This one, built around 1924, collapsed in 1945. Previous bridges collapsed or were condemned in 1880, 1884, and 1901. The new picture shows the bridge just as it was opened on Sept. 2, 2016. Hopefully it will last a long time.
