Great Northern Railway Underpass
Great Northern Railway Underpass, Railway bridge in Stanley, North Dakota.
Description
The Great Northern Railway Underpass is a concrete bridge with steel girders located at the northern edge of Stanley. It allows vehicles to pass underneath while train traffic moves above, creating a practical separation of the two transportation routes.
History
The bridge was built in 1937 and shows the construction methods of the early 1900s with its straightforward steel girder design. It was created during a period when railways and roads were expanding rapidly across North America.
Culture
The structure shows how the railway and road existed side by side and shaped each other as the community developed. Today you can still see this relationship between the tracks and the pavement at this location.
Practical
The underpass is accessible year-round and maintained regularly to ensure safety. Visitors can best view the structure from the road that passes beneath it or from the surrounding area.
Did you know?
The bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1997 as part of a collection of historic roadway bridges. This recognition highlights its importance to the region's transportation story.
