I’m sad. I now live in Minnesota but we are back frequently. My dad was the Purchasing Agent (with subcontractor Ramsey & Co) for the Viaduct. He was so proud to drive over it, each time telling us he purchased every item that made up the Viaduct. I’ve repeated this to my son and husband the hundreds of time we’ve driven across it. We all love the view driving across it. Even parking under it. Articles saved on its opening are part of our family history.

Sorry, comment time is over.
