Bridge, Art installation across Milwaukee River, US
The steel bridge features a bottom-mounted rack mechanism that keeps operational components separate from pedestrian walkways, enhancing safety for foot traffic.
Constructed in 1904, the bridge introduced innovative engineering solutions that established the foundation for what became known as the Milwaukee Type design.
The bridge structure incorporates design elements that reflect Milwaukee's industrial heritage while serving as a canvas for public art installations.
The bridge spans 80 feet across the Milwaukee River, connecting downtown districts with dedicated lanes for vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians.
Each bridge operator house contains original electrical control systems from different decades, documenting the evolution of bridge operation technology.
