Patrick writes: "Late afternoon / early evening Thursday, July 21, 2022. This batch is from the bicycle/pedestrian pathway on the downriver side of the southbound / Illinois bound portion of the new Iowa-Illinois Memorial Bridge / I-74 Bridge. This multiuse pathway offers an unobstructed view of the older Iowa-Illinois Memorial Bridges / I-74 Bridges that have yet to be dismantled here as of July 21, 2022. The original 1935 suspension bridge is immediately downriver, with the 1960 suspension bridge immediately alongside. Photos progress from the Iowa end towards Illinois. Photos looking directly over to the older bridges would be nearly looking into a lowering sun. I would be back the next morning for such shots."
