Save The Friendship TrailBridge

The long-delayed demolition of the 58-year-old Friendship TrailBridge is back on track and could occur this year.

Die-hard defender Neil Cosentino, a member of the committee that saved the bridge from a wrecking ball in 1997, argued its structure is safe. Cosentino invited County Administrator Mike Merrill and commissioners to walk the bridge with him so he could prove its durability. “If we find anything wrong with the bridge, I’ll buy (Merrill) any dinner he wants at Bern’s Steak House,” Cosentino said. “I also invite commissioners to do the same after we take the first walk to make sure the bridge is safe.
 I’m absolutely sure the bridge is safe.” here
