Kristoffer Olsen Oustad

Kristoffer Olsen Oustad

Kristoffer Olsen Oustad was a Norwegian-American engineer who designed major structures in the USA. Together with three other Norwegian-American engineers (Martin Sigvart Grytbak, Andreas W. Munster and Frederick William Cappelen) he designed bridges and other buildings. He was educated at the Technical College in Trondhjem in 1882. He joined the Minneapolis city engineer's office in 1883, and became municipal bridge engineer in 1893. Oustad retired in 1929, after the Cedar Avenue Bridge in Minneapolis was completed.

Oustad designed the Cedar Avenue Bridge, assisted by Frederick T. Paul, assistant bridge engineer, under the direction of city engineer N.W. Elsberg. Oustad assisted Frederick William Cappelen in the design of the Third Avenue Bridge and the F.W. Cappelen Memorial Bridge. He completed the Cappelen Memorial Bridge when Cappelen died.
