Artur Pranga, a graphic designer based in Poland, is running a visualization studio named Imitime, used by architects and designers who want to show how a proposal is going to look long before construction begins.
Pranga said he recently was researching historic bridges. He explained in an email what happened next:
When my eyes came across the Rainbow Bridge located on historic Route 66 near Baxter Springs in Kansas I was really stunned with the beauty of the design. My impression was so great that I decided to dedicate my time and efforts into giving some light to the history of that bridge. […]
I’ve also rendered an illustration showing what the bridge could look like right after its construction.
Here it is:
As you can see, the automobile reflects the period when the Marsh Rainbow Bridge was built in 1923.
Pranga sent the illustration “as a reward for all that useful information you have placed on your website.”
