Main Avenue Bridge Construction Sep. 12, 1938
Subject
Main Ave. Bridge
Description
These two large supports look strikingly out of place with the old-fashioned buildings in the background. The Main Avenue Bridge, also known as the Cleveland Memorial Shoreway Bridge, opened in October 1939. Today it still stretches across the
Flats and the Cuyahoga River. Built with help of funds from the Works Progress Administration
and renovated in the early 1990s, the bridge has the honor of being Ohio’s longest elevated
structure. Pictured is pier no. 2.
