Postcard says "A splendid new viaduct was constructed in 1929 leading from the center of Cheyenne's business district south over the railroad yards to afford a much more direct course for auto traffic to the south. At the same time, a new section of highway was built southr from the viaduct connecting with the Denver Road to make a more direct route into the city".
