A local op-ed argues against replacing a historic bridge with a modern design. It praises the bridge as "a proud symbol of who we are" and warns that a new bridge would be "a cold slab of concrete." The op-ed mentions that a repair estimate is "high," but it does not include the estimate or compare it to replacement costs. It does not mention safety inspection results, only that the bridge has "stood for generations." The final line reads, "Some things are priceless."
