Didn’t we just build this thing a little over a decade ago? How do we not have funds for maintenance?

    According to this, no

    The original viaduct was built in 1914 and had a 40ft.,4 lane deck. In the 1980’s, a wider 60ft., 5 lane deck was rebuilt on theoriginal piers.

      I am too old evidently. And I thought it was all redone when it was built to go up and over Central Parkway moreover. Guess not.

    The Hopple street viaduct is the part that crosses the train yard, not the bridge crossing 75. That bridge was replaced in the early 2010s.

      Ahh that makes sense. Real oversight on my part. Guess I just don’t think of the viaduct itself all that often.
