Description
Hoan Bridge - The Daniel Webster Hoan Memorial Bridge, part of the I-794 Lake Freeway in downtown Milwaukee, was constructed from 1970 through 1972 (though it opened to traffic in 1977) and spans the entryway to Milwaukee's inner harbor and the mouth of the Menomonee and Kinnickinnic Rivers. It is a landmark structure seen from many southside streets and freeways and in 1975 won awards from the American Institute of Steel Construction (the "Long Span Bridge Award") and from the American Society of Civil Engineers. The Hoan Bridge fills the need for a major north-south connector between downtown Milwaukee and the neighborhoods on the near south side of the city. The bridge was named for Daniel Webster Hoan (1881-1961), the second socialist mayor of the city who was also Milwaukee's longest-serving mayor and is considered to be the longest continuous socialist administration in U.S. history.
