Besides its importance as a major transportation route in Ashtabula, the bridge occupies a crucial location in the city's built environment; the Ashtabula Harbour Commercial District terminates at the bridge's western end.[2] HistoryA river crossing had been at the bridge's site long before it was constructed.[2] In 1889, a 19th-century pontoon bridge on the site was replaced by a through truss bridge, which permitted river access because it was a swing bridge.[2] In 1925, the bridge was constructed by a Cleveland firm, Wendell P. Brown, for $179,000. The lifting action depends on electric motors and a massive concrete counterweight. It is one of only two of its type that remain in service in the state of Ohio,[2] and the only one extant in the state highway system.[3] In 1985, the bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[1] In 1986, the bridge was restored.[8] From March 2008 through May 2009, the bridge was closed for repairs and repainting.[4] See also
