EXIT TO CHAMBERS ST. (by m.joedicke)

New York City, 1979.

A piece of the West Side Highway collapsed in 1973 and for more than a decade they argued about plans and funding for a bigger and better superhighway replacement. In the meantime, whole sections of the unsound elevated structure sat abandoned. Eventually they just tore the damn thing down and replaced it with a boulevard.
