This bridge has been abandoned for a long time. It crosses railroad tracks at elevation. At one time, this bridge was part of the steel industries that were once located here (and are documented by the above Historic American Engineering Record link). The approach has been removed at one end. The Historic Bridge Inventory made a mistake and thought this was the Erie Railroad Bridge. Not true, but an easy mistake to make. Only a couple spans of the Erie Railroad Bridge survive in the form of a couple plate girder spans near this bridge.
Information and Findings From Ohio's Historic Bridge InventorySetting/Context The bridge was part of the Erie RR's line to waterfront (line that used brick arch bridges in the Flats).
