The Kingshighway Viaduct and Skate Park
I read (click on the title) that the demo of the KHW viaduct is starting soon and wanted to revisit the area below the deck. I had the willies driving down the rumble strewn road along the east side but was enchanted to encounter a large group of friendly men and their underground DIY skate park complete with freestanding ramps and a recently created 'pool'.
I also had a great chat with the author of http://we-are-the-city.blogspot.com/
It was baffling to discover a dumpster under the bridge.
I called my 10th ward alderman Joe Vollmer. He said he's supportive of them being there -hence the dumpster - and wants to work with them to develop skate parks in our ward.
Reinforced piers:
Missing parapet:
In the middle of the photo there's a small figure, one of a group of boys who'd discovered the LRA board up had been removed:
Cracks in the piers
Entrance to the viaduct from South Kingshighway
Downspout encased in concrete:
