Inscription. The 774 foot long viaduct incorporates unique architectural features that pay tribute to the City's historic links to the railroad and music industries. Stylized railroad motifs, details reminiscent of the historic Union Station Train Shed, along with references to music and rhythm in the design, help to tell the story of this important connector between downtown and Music Row.
