Property Features
2020: The Water Street Viaduct historically carried the CNW—now the Wisconsin & Southern Railroad—over Water Street/STH 60. The one-span, 40-foot, steel I-beam stringer superstructure dates to c.1930 and rests on a pair of late-nineteenth-century sandstone abutments; these tie into a stone wall that continues onto the Lodi Canning Company property (AHI No. 111233, 111543, and 111542). The 1880 and 1896 date stones on the abutments refer to an older deck girder bridge, initially constructed in 1880 and then widened in 1896, that this steel stringer span replaced. The wooden bridge deck, which rests on top of the steel stringers, accommodates two railroad tracks. It is lined with a modern metal railing along the east and west bridge elevations.
