photo challenge – landmark

My landmark entry is offered with some irony:

The Forrester Viaduct is a notorious landmark of sorts in the West Bottoms of KCMO. It is the only by-pass for the train tracks on the Missouri side of the bottoms and was previously known to be the single worse strip of road in the state reputed to have the worst roads in the continuous states…

A month ago, a road crew began tearing off the old concrete and pavement and will rebuild the viaduct on it’s remaining infrastructure. It will likely be a three year project. The image above shows the beginning infrastructure at the opening mouth of the by-pass. The new one will extend two more lots closer to me building, which was four lots over my shoulder when I took the shot.

If I don’t miss the daily 6:30am train, I will lose five to ten minutes everyday on the way into work for the next three years.

*sigh*

I look forward to the new viaduct.
