MY Great Grandpa Bridge  was built in 1978 he was  a local man who petitioned for it as a way for students to cross a street safely – collapsed after a dump truck crashed into it early on Tuesday, February 21. The fall of the Pedro Romero Pedestrian Bridge caused the intersection to be closed off for the time being, according to the San Antonio Police Department.In the late 1970s, Pedro Romero, went door to door while using a walker to get signatures for a petition that would bring the crossover bridge to life. Ramiro said his grandfather felt a bridge needed to be there as there was an elementary school and daycare center nearby. Due to the collapse, My family is saddened and hope the bridge gets rebuilt in our grandfather's honor.
