BO - Cuyahoga River Bridge #464 (1907)

A film about the Whiskey Island drawbridges (B&O Bridge Nrs. 460, 463 & 464) was produced and I have a link on that here: https://bridgehunterschronicles.wordpress.com/2022/03/30/the... Enjoy! :-)

A deer was stuck under the B&O Scherzer railroad bridge for few days on channel 5 news people trying to free it.

This bridge was featured in this video. (It's a good one too) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysmLA5TqbIY

Hi Nathan:

I was at the Sligo Bridge on 5 November 2014. The remains of a tropical system were colliding with the Appalachians, making for a real soggy mess.

I was driving across the country to visit family at the time, so I did not have a lot of time to document bridges, but I was able to visit several that were doomed.

I made it to the Big White River Bridge at Clarendon, Arkansas; The Prince Bridge in Fayette/Raleigh Counties in West Virginia; the Benton McMillan Bridge in Smith County, Tennessee, just north of the Sligo Bridge; the Ironton-Russell Bridge; the Charles Thompson Bridge in Hickman County, Tennessee, and the Tallahatchie MS. 7 Bridge in Lafayette County, Mississippi.

Robert... let me guess, you went by Sligo bridge a day or two after I was there? I know it rained in this region after the beautiful day I was there. It was a memorable trip for me weatherwise, because over the course of a few days, I kept working my way south, and by doing so I stayed ahead of a cold front that was bringing rain and cold.

Looks like a rolling bridge does gather moss...

I did not recognize the photo either as I have not yet visited this bridge on Nathan's Site.

By the way, Nathan I think you and I missed each other by just a couple days at the Sligo Bridge in Tennessee last year. I did not stop for photos due to torrential rain.

Nathan,

Have been on your site many times and will continue to enjoy it. It is wonderful work you have done. Both on your site and this one.

Royce and Bobette:

Thank you for complimenting my photo! I am glad you made this comment, as this might have slipped my notice otherwise. You probably didn't know it was my photo, since it would appear that DOUGLAS BUTLER has posted this copyrighted, all rights reserved intellectual property of HistoricBridges.org on BridgeHunter.com, BOTH without permission and without photo credit of any kind. I would request that DOUGLAS BUTLER remove my photo immediately.

Royce and Bobette, I greatly enjoy your genuine, legitimate contributions (both photographs and forum comments) to BridgeHunter, and I encourage you to visit HistoricBridges.org to see more of my photos in their original habitat!

Love photo #22

so both of the bridges do face each other and I take it they are close to each other?still it would be nice to maybe take a look at both of them.

Yes and notice these two abandoned bridges facing each other, the B&O #464 bridge is near the main street bridge the arch truss bridge between the two vertical lift bridges, Willow Avenue and the Iron Curtain Conrail bridge on Elm Street and Whiskey Island while the B&O #463 bridge near the Detroit Superior bridge next to the red swing bridge (Center Street) of Riverbed.

doug,when looking at this bridge it almost looks like you are looking at bridge#463.weird isn't it?

Also this Scherzer Rolling lift bascule bridge is kept in the raised position, however no fence is around it and is good to view as well.
