Video – Binghamton bridge blasted…

Explosive end for disused New York bridge.

The Prospect Mountain construction project reached an explosive milestone Thursday.

The Interstate-81 bridges that have been out of use for a number of weeks were removed today with about 600 pounds of dynamite.

Many people gathered behind the Binghamton Plaza to watch the implosion.

The dynamite caused the bridges to lean away from the new structures and they let gravity do the rest of the work.
