Title: Anne Street Viaduct, Minot (N.D.)
Date: Circa 1908
Inscription/Marks: [front-print] Anne Street Viaduct, Minot, N.D.
Summary: North approach of the wooden Anne Street viaduct. Stairs lead up to the main span. Trees are visible to the right and left. The Anne Street pedestrian bridge spans the Mouse River and the Great Northern railyards, connecting north Minot with downtown Minot and providing a safer option for pedestrians needing to cross the river and railway yard. When first built, there were “forty-odd” steps at the north and south approaches. After the city had built the footbridge completely across the Mouse River in 1908, Great Northern Railway employees destroyed half of it, asserting the company’s right-of-way rights. There was great anger over this destruction, and a year later a foot viaduct was built. What remained of the bridge was incorporated into the north approach to the new viaduct. Over the years, changes have been made to the foot viaduct; in 2004, the Anne Street Bridge was reconstructed.
