look like in the 1980s, prior to Hiawatha being rebuilt around 1990? Was an
embankment ever partially constructed at 46th in anticipation of a bridge over
Hiawatha? Anyone have a photo from what 46th and Hiawatha looked like in the
1980s?
This aerial image from 1980 -

- shows what looks like a shadow cast by a section of 46th Street just west of
Hiawatha, as if a portion of the street was rebuilt in anticipation of a bridge
over Hiawatha.
Anyone recall this or other traces of the planned Highway 55 freeway planned in
the 1960s but never built? This little post by David Smith is interesting.

other official history of this project or the story of how it never came to
pass?
