I wonder if this was the last heel-trunnion bridge ever built because it was built in 1956 when the river was widened. I noticed that Bridge Hunter and Historic Bridges disagreed on the length of the span. Then I noticed that Bridge Hunter's span length was longer than the total length. So the Historic Bridges number, 231', is the correct length.

Michael Fobel posted The old "Jackknife Bridge" now in the permanent open position over the Cuyahoga River in Cleveland, Ohio. I believe it belonged to the B&O railroad. |
It's nice seeing a photo of a partially open bridge because it makes it easier to figure out how the linkages work.

Until 1956, this location had a
Scherzer Rolling bridge like
Bridge #464. Below, #463 is in the foreground and #464 is to the left of the left smokestack.
The rolling bridge was based on the bank opposite of the trunnion bridge.
