            Packard Plant bridge | DetroitThe historic Packard Plant became a symbol of urban desolation and abandonment.  The site featured 10 buildings designed by Albert Kahn in the first decade of the 20th century.  This bridge connected factories on both sides of a busy street and allowed the elegant cars to continue their journey towards completion.  My photo of the bridge is from May 2016.  The bridge collapsed January 23, 2019.
