Historic significance

It is significant as the underpass allowed for access between Las Vegas and the settlements west of the city. Previously, it was a dangerous undertaking to cross the Union Pacific Railroad (ex-San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake Railroad) tracks.[2][3]

History

The bridge was constructed in 1937 by the Works Progress Administration.[1][4] The structure has changed over time, primarily due to a widening project on Bonanza Road.[1]
