Center Street Bridge underneath - a photo on Flickriver

Center Street Bridge underneath

            A rare swing bridge underneath

Exploring the bottom deck of the Detroit-Superior Bridge (Veterens Memorial Bridge). This level used to carry streetcars over the Cuyahoga River.

In Cleveland, Ohio sits an abandoned Subway tunnel that is only open to the public once a year. These photos were taken on the August 19th, 2017 tours of the tunnel and underdeck of the Detroit-Superior Bridge. The short stretch of subway (carrying streetcars) opened on Christmas Day in 1917 and was supposed to serve as a model for a Cleveland-wide Subway system. As streetcars were phased out, the line fell into disuse and service was discontinued on January 24, 1954. So, the last trains that went through these tunnels were over 63 years ago...

The subway line did lead to some rapid-transit train lines being built (RTA), which has one full metro line and a couple light-rail lines. Part of the current metro line is underground near Tower City and again near the Airport. The RTA has survived, though streetcar and commuter trains are long gone in the Cleveland Area.
