Description
This October 18, 1942, photograph shows a portion of the newly-constructed Sixteenth Street Viaduct, just to the north of the American River and Sixteenth Street Bridge. Built for a cost of 847,440 dollars, the continuous reinforced concrete structure stretched roughly 1,500 feet north of the Sixteenth Street Bridge toward North Sacramento, reaching its highest point at nearly 50 feet above the oft-inundated lowlands.
