Summary
This overpass and the adjacent cloverleaf were built as part of a federal aid project in Omaha that the Department of Roads described in its 1933-34 Biennial Report: "The Dodge Street project consisted of widening the street from Thirtieth west to the city limits, making a four traffic-lane street between those points. Included in this project is a complete, modern street light system, and interlocking traffic control signal system, two pedestrian subways, and a grade separation of Dodge Street and Saddle Creek Boulevard." Over 1,175 cubic yards of dirt were excavated to lower Saddle Creek Road sufficiently to pass under the overpass. The project was completed in 1934.
