| Title | Carter Road Lift Bridge, view inside machinery room showing compressor tanks, 1986 |
| Creator | Cawood, Louise Taft
|
| Description | View inside machinery room showing compressor tanks belonging to the Carter Road Lift Bridge in Cleveland, Ohio.
This bridge is significant as it reflects the work of famous Cleveland engineer, Wilbur J. Watson. The bridge is representative of the design for moveable bridges of the vertical lift type being built during the 1940's. It is similar to the Columbus Road Lift Bridge. Also of significance is the fact that this bridge was constructed as part of a Works Progress Administration (WPA) sponsored river improvement project, and thus provided work for a number of Cleveland building and engineering related businesses. The bridge has been selected as a historic bridge by the Ohio Department of Transportation. |
