Saddle Creek Underpass

The Saddle Creek Underpass is a road bridge in Midtown that carries Saddle Creek Road beneath Dodge Street. It features separate passages for pedestrians and is equipped with modern traffic control systems to manage daily vehicle flow.

The structure was built in 1934 by the Works Progress Administration during the Great Depression as a concrete construction. It was created as part of federal projects that generated employment and strengthened urban infrastructure during that period.

The underpass represents a crucial period in American infrastructure development when federal projects provided employment and enhanced urban connectivity.

The structure sits between the Morton Meadows and Dundee neighborhoods and is accessible by foot or vehicle. Visitors should be aware this is an actively used traffic structure where staying safe is important.

The structure was equipped with an advanced street lighting system that was remarkable for 1930s infrastructure technology. It remains today the only property in the National Register within both adjacent neighborhoods.
