Sept. 29 (Don Frazier)

Oct. 19: Salvage workers were dwarfed by the large backhoe used to dredge the Mississippi River for chunks of concrete as demolition worked continued to remove the old bridge piers.

Nov. 3: Demolition crews blasted Pier 3 into rubble.

Nov. 9: Another scheduled blast took rock skipping on the river to a new level.

Mar. 12, 2005: Workers place blast mats on the remaining pier, in preparation for the explosion. (Fred Lynch)
