Erie Avenue Bridge in Lorain

FYI -- This bridge is currently being renovated. Work has been going on since summer 2018. The roadbed was torn up and repaved with concrete. Then for the past several months they have been working underneath the bridge. The bridge remained open throughout. I love this bridge and have hundreds of photos of it. I walk out my front door and see it. If you ever need any please contact me. I'm attaching a few. If you use, please credit me.
