| Jefferson Avenue Bridge | Jefferson Avenue (Abandoned Section) Over Railroad (Norfolk Southern) | Cleveland: Cuyahoga County, Ohio | Metal Riveted Pratt Through Truss, Stationary | 0 By: Unknown |
This truss span and a few approach stringers is all that remains of what appears to have been a high-level bridge that crossed the Cuyahoga River and the industry next to the river at one time. It is unclear what the main span might have been, but it was likely a bascule or vertical lift.
Today, the bridge that is left remains an interesting and historic structure. The truss bridge features six panels and appears to retain good historic integrity. A few approach spans remain as well, but these are severely overgrown with bushes and trees, and the railings are falling off of these spans.
This bridge features guardrails for the sidewalks that are a style of railing that showed up occasionally on old bridges in various forms, but all utilizing the same lattice below and arch shapes on top. They are today a rare find, and are among the more ornate and beautiful of railing designs.
