Valley Passage and Silver City
The Valley Passage was constructed at the same location where generations of workers, called the Bucket Brigade because of their steel lunch buckets, streamed through a tunnel beneath the railroad tracks and across the river via a pedestrian bridge on their way to jobs in the Menomonee River Valley.
History
& Facts
When industry left in the mid-1900s, the bridge was torn down.
The Valley Passage (a railroad underpass), the Silver City bike/ pedestrian bridge over the Menomonee River, and a path up to 37th and Pierce Streets restores that historic connection between the Menomonee River Valley and Silver City neighborhood.
