Once the largest reinforced concrete structure in the world.
Day 7
Paulinskill Viaduct
April 2nd, 2010
I'm walking across America.
That's the idea, at least. I'm walking westward from New York City for nine months or so. If everything goes according to plan, I'll be in Oregon when the clock runs out. If nothing goes according to plan, maybe I'll end up in Peru or Mongolia or Pennsylvania. You can read all about the details of my trip if you're so inclined.

Here's my progress so far:
I’m not an engineer, but it seems to me, like duh, they couldn’t have built it so large if it weren’t reinforced.
Ah, you forget about the colossal Puddle of Concrete built in 1904.
Now the largest building in the world is also the largest reinforced concrete structure in the world!
That’s a pretty amazing creation, sir!
We were trying to build the biggest reinforced structure (bridge) here in Reno, but lost out already. You should walk by and see it.
