Clark Avenue Bridge--Demolition

Subject

Clark Ave. Bridge
Demolition

Description

Pairs of supports are all that remain of the Clark Avenue Bridge. The old Clark Avenue Bridge was torn down in the mid-1980s, likely from deterioration caused by chemicals in the smoke from the steel mills below the bridge. Built in 1912, it was Cleveland’s longest bridge at 6,687 feet. It went over Cuyahoga Valley, and like the Detroit-Superior Bridge, it had its own street car tracks. It was replaced by I-490 Bridge.
