Description:
|
"The Western Hills viaduct bridges the Mill Creek Valley to connect Central Parkway and Spring Grove Avenue on the east with Harrison Avenue and Beekman Street on the west. Built by McDougal Construction and Folwell Engineering under the supervision of Union Terminal Company, this double-decked, Art Deco style viaduct was completed in 1932." It's Cincinnati's longest viaduct (3,300 feet long). "Since the 1950s, the Western Hills viaduct suffered from deterioration, poor maintenance, and heavy use. By the mid-1970s, an estimated 54,000 vehicles passed over it daily. Though it was repaired and regraded in 1963, the viaduct had to be closed for major reconstruction in 1976 for two years, hurting small businesses in Fairmount."
