Save the Friendship Trail Bridge

This is an image of the Gandy Bridge taken 1956 (They say nobody is from Florida). The Gandy Bridge was completed in 1924 to connect Tampa with St Petersburg.
In the last decade it was open for recreational activity such as jogging and biking. It was closed when engineers claimed it was unsafe. They claim it is going to collapse. I don't believe that.
Saturday afternoon there will be a picnic on the Tampa side of the bridge to raise funds to save it.
Hillsborough country is allowing a period of time for supporters to raise enough money to make the needed repairs. I wish them luck.
