Francis Scott Key Bridge (I-695) complete collapse after large ship hits it

[Henry]

Until there is something formal announced about a name change for a replacement bridge, let's move on from that speculation, Francis Scott Key's legacy, and also philosophical concepts involving demographics.

Half an hour later....

Rename it to the George Herman Ruth Bridge.

The Babe was born in Baltimore.

Not sure whether that warrants a  or a  .

More like a

But as Alex said, there's no word on when the new bridge will have a different name, so let's just assume that it'll also be called the Key Bridge. After all, President Biden did say they were going to rebuild it, so there we have it.

All the GSV imagery from the bridge has been removed. The previous workaround of dragging the stick man to where the bridge used to be no longer works, and you can no longer advance onto the bridge from within GSV itself.

Not sure what the point of removing the images is?  The bridge did in fact exist and the right of way seemingly will be reused.

Not sure what the point of keeping the images would be?  The bridge no longer exist and images have no value except for historic and nostalgia - hence useless for most maps users. .

It still works for me.

And how is that ultimately different than like images of the countless number of bridges that have been replaced since GSV started?  I was just using old GSV images the other day to look at components of a bridge which was razed in 2014.  Given I was writing an article about said crossing it certainly had value to me.

If you try to advance to the point where the road ends on the map, it won't let you go further.
