| Description | View, looking east, of the deck of the Detroit-Superior Bridge taken from the intersection of W. 25th Street and Detroit Avenue. The bridge connects the city's east and west side over the Cuyahoga River Valley. Photograph illustrates the flared approaches designed to accommodate an, open well, through which streetcars could enter the bridge's lower level. This plan was later abandoned after construction had already begun, in favor of short subways that would carry the streetcars west beneath Detroit Avenue for a distance of 725 feet and south beneath W. 25th St. for a distance of 560 feet. |
