High-Low Bridge





 

 Cleveland Ohio Bridges. What inspired this blog was watching as one of the High-low bridges  went up to let a boat pass under it. Looking at one of the figures carved on the Hope Memorial Bridge that was named for William Hope, father of comedian Bob Hope, who carved them was not the inspiration.  

This country has some interesting bridges. This makes me think of them. It seems the most interesting bridges go over water. In Cleveland, especially the well-known bridges, bridge a gap.
A fraction of the Detroit-Superior Bridge does go over the Cuyahoga River.  

When I took these photographs, I tried to take them at some different angles. My effort did not work. When I took the pictures, what I saw, looked okay. After they were printed and I went through them, there were only a few I liked.

Before I go back and take some more pictures, this is what I have.
The bridges that go up-and-down or swing to the side interested me.
 Cleveland, Ohio, has a  few other bridges. Two of them are pictured
at this blog.


Bridges in "The Flats" in Cleveland, Ohio, usually go up-and-down.Whether it is a freighter, a pleasure cruise such as The Goodtime II,  or another vessel,  the bridges usually go up-and-down to make room for the boat. Gates



 go down, traffic is stopped, the road is raised, and the vessel passes.
