Notes
  • Significance: This reinforced concrete bridge and underpass complex features an urn-shaped balustrade and other decorative elements. Rock retaining walls were added later by the Works Progress Administration (WPA). As a principal thoroughfare serving traffic for nearby Landa Park, the structure's overall design announces an important civic space. The bridge is an interesting example of a statewide movement in the late 1920s to decrease automobile accidents at railroad grade crossings.
