Before and After shots at Oregon Rd in Toledo

Unread post by MDH »

I recently got an "after" shot and was able to dig up a suitable "before" shot from when they were building the Oregon Rd. overpass here in Toledo. Here's the "before" (actually "during" would be more accurate):

And then here's how it looks now - road completely removed although they left stubs of the original road both North and South (great pull off's!):

If you know something's coming you can pull off on the old part of Oregon and then park and hike up the embankment for shots from the bridge. For the "after" shot I actually got there too late to go for a bridge shot so 'made do' with the ground level shot. They're from nearly the same relative spot so it makes for an interesting 'things change' comparison.

Regards,
Michael
