Notes
  1. ^ RM stands for "River Mile" and refers to the method used by federal and state government agencies to identify locations along a water body. Mileage is defined as the lineal distance from the downstream terminus (i.e., mouth) and moving in an upstream direction.
  2. ^ The bridge informally opened to railroad traffic on March 5, 1957.[10] However, the bridge did not lift until April 1, 1957, the date the railroad marked as its completion.[11]
  3. ^ The 1882 was a low truss bridge with a swing span at the Cuyahoga River. The 1907 replacement was a high plate girder span with a Scherzer rolling bridge at the Cuyahoga River.[20] The rolling lift bridge was replaced in 1957 with a 267-foot (81 m) high lift bridge.[28]
