Martin Sigvart Grytbak
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Martin Sigvart Grytbak (ca. 1883-1953) was one of four innovative and influential Norwegian-American engineers that were involved in the design of the great bridges of the Twin Cities. (The others are Kristoffer Olsen Oustad, Andreas W. Munster and Frederick William Cappelen.) Grytbak graduated as a civil engineer in 1903 at the Technical College in Trondhjem. He came to the United States about 1903 and worked as a bridge engineer for the Northern Pacific Railway in St. Paul. From 1913 until after World War II he served as bridge engineer for the city of St. Paul.
Grytbak's major works are the Intercity Bridge (Ford Parkway Bridge) between St. Paul and Minneapolis, and the Kellogg Boulevard Viaduct in St. Paul.
