The Anthony Wayne Bridge ("The High-level") was constructed by the McClintic-Marshall Company in 1931, and is a downtown Toledo, Ohio landmark named after General Anthony Wayne. It is a suspension bridge that spans the Maumee River.[1][2] The bridge has some features that give it a unique aesthetic quality, including a sky blue color and various lattice patterns.[1]
Ohio State Routes 2, 51, and 65 cross the Maumee River on the Anthony Wayne Bridge; it also connects Clayton Street to Woodville Road.[3]
Reconstruction
In April of 2012 the city of Toledo and the port authority announced a project that would close the brides for nearly 2 years. A redevelopment project that would take nearly 3 years to complete is set to start in the spring of 2013.
