| 释义 |
The Martin Luther King Memorial Bridge (formerly Cherry Street Bridge) is a double-leaf bascule bridge adjacent to downtown Toledo, Ohio, where Cherry Street crosses the Maumee River to become Main Street on the east side of the city. The structure opened to traffic in 1914. HistoryIn 2001 the bridge started what was to have been a $31 million USD refurbishment. This refurbishment widened the bridge's four lanes and added pedestrian walkways. The bridge's original control towers were replaced with new towers, modeled after the originals. When originally built, the streetcars operated by the Toledo Railways & Light Company shared the bridge with motor vehicles.[1] The technique employed to keep the streetcar's power wire taut when in use, yet allowing the bridge to be raised, was considered innovative and was copied in similar bridges.[2] The bridge's original deck was an open metal mesh.[3] The bridge was designed by Arnold W. Brunner and built by Osborn Engineering.[4][5][6][7] The bridge, including its approaches, is {{convert|1100|ft|m}} long. It is located a mile upstream from the Veterans' Glass City Skyway where Interstate 280 crosses the river.[8] References1. ^{{cite book| isbn = | url = https://books.google.com/books?id=xalMAAAAYAAJ&q=%22Lift+bridge%22+OR+%22bascule+bridge%22+%22Cherry+Street%22++Toledo&dq=%22Lift+bridge%22+OR+%22bascule+bridge%22+%22Cherry+Street%22++Toledo&cd=2| title = Electric railway journal, Volume 42| publisher = McGraw Hill| date = 1913| accessdate = 2012-05-22| quote = A novel arrangement for taking up slack in the trolley wire over a bascule bridge when the span is raised has been installed by the Toledo Railways & Light Company on the Cherry Street bridge at ...| page = 967| author = }} 2. ^{{cite book| url = https://books.google.com/books?id=_W1EAQAAIAAJ&q=%22Lift+bridge%22+OR+%22bascule+bridge%22+%22Cherry+Street%22++Toledo&dq=%22Lift+bridge%22+OR+%22bascule+bridge%22+%22Cherry+Street%22++Toledo&cd=4| title = Electrical world: a review of current progress in electricity and its practical applications, Volume 62| publisher = W.J.
