Ida Street Viaduct

Ida Street Viaduct is a concrete bridge in Cincinnati featuring characteristic Art Deco geometric patterns on its surfaces. The structure spans across the Mount Adams area using reinforced construction techniques common to its era.

The bridge was built in 1931 to replace an earlier wooden streetcar line serving the area. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 for its architectural value.

The structure carries a name rooted in local history and reflects the community's past. The Art Deco forms are visibly expressed through geometric details that show the era's taste for patterned surfaces.

The structure is passable for vehicles and remains in active use as a transportation route. Visitors can walk across or drive over it to view the architecture from different vantage points.

The structure retains its original concrete surfaces and Art Deco details largely unaltered since completion. This preservation lets visitors see firsthand the engineering approach and design preferences of the 1930s without modern modifications.
