PARK CITY, Utah — There are several parking garages in Park City for visitors and locals alike. But one parking garage is filled with a lot of history- The China Bridge Parking Garage located on Swede Alley, two streets up from Main Street.“So the purpose of the bridge was basically so white people could avoid having to walk through the Chinese community in Park City,” said Dalton Gackle, research coordinator at the Park City Museum.
“The Chinese people and Irish people and some other workers stayed in Park City,” Gackle said. “They didn't want to go elsewhere to find work. So they stayed here.”“They ran restaurants, they ran laundries, they ran all sorts of other businesses to just keep the community running,” Gackle said.The bridge's construction was funded by a group called the Michigan Bunch, Gackle added. They were residents of Park City who came from Michigan.
The new overpass would allow the wealthier residents of Rossi Hill to walk over Chinatown and on to the base of Main Street.
