One of several concrete arch "tunnels" built during the rebuilding of the route in 1906 was this structure.
Built in 1906, this single span concrete arch bridge crosses 50th Street near I-80. Known as the "awful tunnel", this bridge likely will be replaced in the next decade.
Other arches at 60th Street, 84th Street and 120th Street have all been replaced, making this the sole remaining tunnel.
Built entirely of concrete, this arch remains in good condition. However, due to the narrowness of the structure it is undoubtedly high on the replacement plans for Omaha.
The author has ranked this bridge as being locally significant, due to the common design.
