Graffiti Bridge
Aug 25, 2021 15:54:35 #
This I-69 bridge over Trackside Road and the Norfolk and Southern Railroad in Delaware County, Indiana, (built in 1963) almost immediately became a graffiti magnet for area teenagers because of its relative isolation. I drive the road from time to time and like to keep up with the latest offerings, as its underside is painted and repainted over and over. It has become sort of an icon for local young folks with spray cans.

Nice of them to repaint the bridge so frequently.
It is--preserves the concrete.

I *love* grafitti! (...now, wait for the heat, lol) If I see something interesting I'll stop and document...hence tons of boxcar shots and an occasional construct like you got. Czech this out: https://www.streetartbio.com/artists/banksy/ this guy is the real deal!

Some are very creative on boxcars too. But tell them to do it and they'd probably complain and refuse ⭐⭐⭐

Neat shots. This represents a big investment in paint and a lot of work!

Very nice images!!!
I know it vandalism but some of the art looks better than a crapy old paint job or drab concrete.
Have you ever seen the Flood wall on the St.Louis riverfront ? check this link
