This picture of the traffic bridge over the Mississippi River at Cape Girardeau was made by Steve Robertson.
The photo had a long run in the Southeast Missourian beginning May 1, 1971.
Readers could easily find short items in "All Around the Town" on Page 2 with this daily 1-column photo header.
The bridge stood for 76 years and was demolished in 2004, after the new Bill Emerson Memorial Bridge was opened.
A history of the bridge is presented in this previous blog:
