Hope Memorial Bridge





The Hope Memorial Bridge. From this view you are able to see the "Guardians of Traffic carvings that motorists and pedestrians see when entering or leaving the bridge.  This bridge connects Carnegie Avenue with Lorain Avenue.  It spans an area known as "The Flats."




The sculpture of the "Guardians of Traffic" was made by Cleveland stone mason William Hope, father of comedian Bob Hope. The bridge was renamed to honor William Hope.

This photo was taken to include the bridge and the figures carved by Hope.
