EDITORS COMMENTS
The Intercity Viaduct, an engineering marvel of its time, spans the Kansas River in Kansas City, Missouri, USA. Built in 1907, this impressive structure was designed to accommodate both vehicles and pedestrian traffic. Now known as the Lewis and Clark Viaduct, it stands as a testament to the ingenuity and progress of the early 20th century. In this circa 1908 photograph, we see the Viaduct in all its glory. Cars and carriages make their way across the bridge, their drivers and passengers seemingly unfazed by the grand scale of the structure before them. Pedestrians, too, can be seen crossing the bridge on foot, some carrying bundles or pushing prams. The Viaduct's sunproof design, with its distinctive arches and ornate signage, is a sight to behold. The wooden planks of the bridge, still in use at the time, bear the marks of the countless vehicles and feet that have crossed them over the years. In the background, the silhouette of the Patton Coal and Lumber Company's sign can be seen, a reminder of the industrial activity that thrived in the area. The sun casts a warm glow over the scene, adding to the sense of history and nostalgia. The Intercity Viaduct was not just a means of transportation, but a symbol of progress and connection. It linked the two sides of the city, bringing people and goods together, and paved the way for the growth and development of Kansas City. Today, it remains an important part of the city's rich history and a beloved landmark for visitors and locals alike.
