• Main Street Railway Bridge Underpass - Greenwood MS
    The Greenwood underpass, or railway bridge cross #300721D, was "built to allow traffic on Main Street to pass under the railroad tracks of the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley Railroad" ( Greenwood Underpass, 2011). The project also re-routed US 49 and US 82 into Greenwood, with concrete and brick highway to replace the gravel roads (Darden, 2008-2009).

An Art Deco style pumphouse was constructed next to the railroad tracks...
