RENO, Nev. (AP) - Plans to demolish a 108-year-old downtown Reno bridge made famous by divorcees who tossed rings from it into the Truckee River have moved a big step closer to reality.

Regional flood authority directors approved $7.2 million in funding Friday to pave the way for demolition of the Virginia Street Bridge to begin in spring of 2014.

Local officials say the concrete, double-arched bridge needs to be replaced because it acts as a bottleneck during floods and causes water to pour onto downtown streets.

The bridge became legendary after it was portrayed by Hollywood and the news media as the site where people tossed wedding rings into the Truckee after securing divorces at the nearby courthouse.

The Reno Gazette-Journal reports (http://on.rgj.com/GWqOeG ) the $7.2 million authorized Friday will allow for demolition to begin next spring and provide for part of the new structure's construction.

Flood authority Executive Director Jay Aldean says the "crumbling" bridge, built in 1905, is "probably one of the worst bridges in the country."

Construction of the new bridge is expected to cost about $16 million and be completed in 2015.

Another $10 million in federal funding for construction is being provided through the Nevada Department of Transportation.

The regional flood authority board consists of elected officials from Reno, Sparks and Washoe County.

Mysore, Oct 13 : As Karnataka's cultural capital, Mysore decks up for the grand finale of the 10-day Dasara festival Monday when the victory procession of caparisoned elephants will mark the triumph of good over evil.

Ahead of the Vijayadashmi day fest, the city of palaces, about 140 km from Bangalore, was gripped by religious fervour and gaiety.

The scion Srikanta Datta Narasimaharaja of the Wodeyar dynasty performed rituals and worshipped the royal armoury in the majestic durbar hall of the century-old Ambi Vilas Palace in the city centre.

Dressed in royal robes and sporting the king's headgear, the 60-year-old prince performed the ritual Ayudha pooja in the majestic durbar of the century-old palace amid chanting of Vedic hymns.

Present were his family members and hundreds of people who thronged the hallowed precincts for a glimpse of the grandeur that marked the auspicious ninth day (Mahanavami) of the fest.

The armoury, a treasure trove of about 1,000 weapons, some dating back to 14th century, is a priceless collection of the Wodeyar rulers.

Thousands of people from across the state and country and about 1,000 foreign tourists have descended here to witness the elephant carnival, which will be flagged off by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah at the palace for a five-km march across the city's thoroughfares.

As Dasara is celebrated as the state festival with royal endorsement, elaborate arrangements have been made to recreate the grandeur of the past when the mega event used to be held by the rulers of the Vijayanagara Empire and Wodeyar dynasty since the 16th century.

Before the caparisoned jumbo Arjuna steps out of the palace, carrying atop the deity (Nandi Dhwaja) of Hindu goddess Chamundeshwari in the 750 kg golden chariot, a dozen priests will perform rituals at the auspicious time between 1.12 p.m. and 1.40 p.m..

This will be followed by floral tributes to the idol by the scion and the dignitaries between 1.55 p.m. and 2.23 p.m.
