1953 Press Photo Traffic Flowed Over Wisconsin Av. After Reopening In Milwaukee

Traffic flowed, uninterrupted by barriers, over the Wisconsin av. viaduct Tuesday for the first time in three years.In that period the structure was remodeled bit by bit at a cost of $750,000. The roadway was widened to 58 feet from 46 feet by eliminating the south sidewalk and hanging the north sidewalk on brackets over the valley. All that remains is some painting of the new steel bridge railings, which replaced concrete. The camera looks west. Milwaukee- bridges- Wisconsin Ave.
