At the center of a traffic roundabout in Railway City, this 69-foot-long 20-foot-tall artwork is titled "Perseverance" and it is by artist Scott McKay. It was unveiled in 2019. It took the artist over 5 months and over 1000 hours to create from thousands of components.
Built by hand, it was installed with the help of a crane. Built from weathering steel, the rust is a design feature and adds to how absolutely awesome it looks.
There is a trailhead parking lot nearby and while there are no crosswalks at this roundabout, carefully wait for a break in the traffic to cross. Enjoy!
