I crossed this bridge just last week.
When we were kids visiting our grandmother in South Carolina, the Gilmerton Bridge was a sign that we were almost home.
Its unusual design, high lift towers, and view of the harbor made crossing it almost a blast.
Construction crews called 911 at 7:45 a.m. – morning rush hour – and the bridge that spans the Elizabeth River was sealed off to traffic until 3:45 p.m.
Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal technicians responded to the scene and found three inert artillery shells about 15 inches long, said Capt. Scott Saunders, a Fire Department spokesman. . . . .
Almost a blast.
