Description
The Hope Memorial Bridge (formerly the Lorain�Carnegie Bridge) is a 5,865 foot long art deco truss bridge crossing the Cuyahoga River in Cleveland, Ohio. It stands 93 feet above the river's waterline in order to allow shipping to pass unobstructed. The bridge connects Lorain Avenue on Cleveland's west side and Carnegie Avenue on the east side, terminating just short of Progressive Field. Pairs of statues designed by sculptor Henry Hering and architect Frank Walker (titled the "Guardians of Traffic") stand on pylons at each end of the viaduct, symbolizing progress in transportation. A second lower deck designed to carry truck and commercial traffic was never put into service.
