The Innerbelt Bridge is Having Twins

ODOT announced that they'll be replacing the I-90/Innerbelt Bridge with two 5-lane bridges, built one after another.

News, commentary, information and musings on the history of greater Cleveland and the Western Reserve region of Northeastern Ohio, particularly its bridges, railroads, maps and historic landmarks and events. Using new web-based technologies, such as GIS, to improve libraries' ability to increase access to local history. More recently I'm adding information on the arts, particularly outdoor sculpture.
