Bridge Blog: This crowd is ready for the show / Photo

The crowd was gathering at the University of Rhode Island's Bay campus in Narragansett, one of the few public viewing locations to see the bridge come falling down.

From Journal demolition correspondent Kate Bramson:

As the sun beats down on the beach from clear blue skies, the crowd boos a little with word from DOT officials that the demolition time has been pushed back to 11 a.m.

They're ready for this explosion.

It's a mixed crowd here -- locals with strong memories of the bridge and young boys and URI students who want to see a great explosion.

Some young boys in jeans have wandered into the water and are now wet up to their knees.
