The 6th Street Viaduct




Play Recording





The 6th Street Viaduct was built in 2002 and is the first cable stayed bridge built for motorcars in the state. The suspended quality of the bridge along with its proximity to the rail line shown to the south along with two channels of the Menomonee river make it an ideal place to gather unique sounds. This recording was made standing under neath a large enclosed stairwell attached to the bridge, which acted like drum as the traffic passed over head.
I have always enjoyed the sound of a train braking, as each car slams into the next...
