Looking north from 10th St. 1971

Here's a fine 1971 photo looking north from the 10th Street bridge over the Downtown Connector (I-75 / 85). It's always amazing to check out this stretch of highway and see a grassy median. And check out that large wall along the right side of the contemporary photo that's nowhere to be seen back in '71. In slightly over forty years, the roadway expanded from three lanes to a mind-boggling fourteen.

Thanks to Dennis Eavenson for the 1971 photo, which he posted over on the Atlanta Time Machine's Facebook page.
