Looking south from the Bascule Bridge…foreground: Bascule Bridge…background: steel mill…from L to R…Spitzer Riverside Marina, train bridge, Black River Landing…you can see all parts of town – east, south, central, and west! Zoinks! Only took me 45 years and this picture to realize that 😀 Not bad for an unplanned drive-by! ~ lisa
I wonder when they’ll tear down the blast furnaces and BOP Shop?

Not been familiar with the workings/layout of the mill, I’m guessing the parts you refer to are no longer in service & never will be again. Is this what the electric arc furnace is replacing?

The EAF comes far short of replacing the blast furnaces and BOP, but yes.

It would take almost a complete rebuild just to fire the furnace again, wouldn’t it? Can they use these buildings for anything else ever?

Yes, scrap.
