Video – Lilly Bridge blasted…

65-year old West Virginia bridge dropped in morning implosion.

Summers County locals came to say goodbye to the 65 year old Lilly Bridge on Sunday morning.

The old Lilly Bridge was one of seven remaining cantilever truss bridges in West Virginia. It was named in honour of the flooded town of Lilly.

Bent and broken pieces are all that remains, but the new Lilly Bridge is now open. Construction crews will be working with cranes to get the scrap metal off the embankment and out of the river.
