A 400-ft section of the old U.S. 421 Milton-Madison Bridge was demolished using controlled explosives. This was the third section of the bridge to be demolished. The remaining 600-ft section of the 2,427-ft-long bridge is expected to be removed later this month. For a look at the demolition, click here.
