The RTD has some great pictures of Boulevard aka Nickel Bridge which turned 85 yesterday. I swiped one picture go to the link to see the rest.

It was once known as the “Nickel Bridge” for the 5-cent fare. People who bought lots in Westover Hills had free passage across the bridge until 1960. The RMA purchased the bridge in 1969 while building the expressway system. The toll was raised periodically over the years, reaching 35 cents last year.
