then and now .......13th street overpass

battered fencing 

13th St overpass 

 2011

 once a railroad bridge

that spanned 13th street ( US 441 )

Gainesville

...

now a pedestrian overpass 

 connecting apartments on the eastside

and the University Medical Center  to the west

of the busy highway.

the double helix design was

completed in late 2012..

homage to Gainesville's railroad past

and today's emergence as a biotech and medical hub
