Viaducts of Atlanta
The Viaducts of Atlanta were mainly created in the 1920s to bridge numerous level crossings of roads and railroads.
Atlanta was founded as a railroad city. It had at least six major rail lines entering the city. There were many places where pedestrian traffic encountered that on the rails. The first viaduct was just the Broad Street bridge which was rebuilt several times, the second wooden version designed by Lemuel Grant in 1865 but longer viaducts were coming.
