Ambassador Bridge

Remember when the bridge used to be black?

From the back of the card:

    THE AMBASSADOR BRIDGE, connecting Windsor,
    Ontario, Canada and Detroit, Michigan, is the largest
    International Bridge in the world (nearly two miles
    long). From the centre of the four-lane bridge, visitors
    can stop and take pictures of the two cities, or of the
    passing ships on the Detroit River.

The Teal is hideous, and here’s hoping if there’s another paint job, it goes back to black.

  • You may like to know that it was my Father in Law Roy Lancaster(president of the Bridge Company) that worked tirelessly for 10 years to get the necklace lighting done (Nov 1981).

  • Matt Revington, I've thought the same. It's like "OK, they're done priming it, now for the final coat."

    Unfortunately, I don't remember the bridge being black. When did it happen?
