A protest against the T Bridge earlier this year
The Alvford T. Bridge was a couple of blocks from where I grew up and we spent a lot of time playing on and under it, riding bikes on it, and hanging from it and dropping into the river. I never knew its name before. We always called in The T Bridge. It led to three junkyards and some farms.
The bridge (a through truss bridge), built in 1914 over the Green River on S. 3rd Avenue in Kent, is scheduled for demolition and removal. The bridge has been considered structurally deficient for years and the county closed the bridge and will demolish, but not replace it. There are two other bridges across the river very close by.
