This is an example of a very early cable stayed regional trail overpass. It is located on the US-41 and US-45 freeway multiplex just north of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in the city of Menomonee Falls. I have been able to find very little information on this structure. The Wi-DOT Bridge Manual says that this is the first cable stayed pedestrian overpass in the United States, and may be the first modern cable stayed bridge in the nation.
