This is an example of a very early cable stayed regional trail overpass. It is located on US-45 just north of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in the city of Menomonee Falls. I have been able to find very little information on this strcuture. One civil engineering student suggested that this was the first cable stayed pedestrian overpass in the United States.
