IM VIADUKT

This guide to IM VIADUKT in Zurich follows the plan railway engineer Robert Moser never got: after laying four tracks over these arches in the 1890s, the Swiss Federal Railways tried a century later to double the load with a scheme nicknamed Fil Rouge. You'll hear how neighbors organized under the punning banner Verrückt das Viadukt, what alternative they pushed instead, and why the shopkeepers and mechanics working these arches for a century were told to clear out by March 2003. The open competition that followed shaped what stands under the brick vaults today.
