This bridge, which remains in use, is significant because it is a documented example of the patented bascule form that the Scherzer Rolling Lift Bridge Company aggressively maintained its rights to. The bridge is also among the oldest of Cleveland's railroad bridges. This bridge is similar to B&O Railroad Bridge #464 for those reasons.

Poor lighting during the visit to this bridge limits the available photos for this structure.
