Innerbelt Bridge
The Innerbelt Bridge was a truss arch bridge in Cleveland, Ohio carrying Interstate 90/Innerbelt Freeway over the Cuyahoga River. History The bridge, completed in 1959, was in length and in width, built as the widest bridge in Ohio. The Innerbelt Bridge replaced the Central Viaduct. The bridge had been intended to carry Interstate 71, but due to the lack of completion of a highway, carried Interstate 90 instead.

This had been rectified by mid-2010. Replacement As part of the Innerbelt Freeway rebuild, the bridge was replaced by the George V. Voinovich Bridges. The Innerbelt Bridge was vacated in November 2013 after the completion of the westbound Voinovich bridge, built immediately to the north. Dismantling of the Innerbelt Bridge began January 13, 2014, and five of the nine remaining spans were imploded at da ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Dead Man's Curve
Dead Man's Curve is an American nickname for a curve in a road that has claimed lives because of numerous crashes. Examples * A curve on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles memorialized in the hit song "Dead Man's Curve" by Jan and Dean. The song's lyrics place the location of the "Dead Man's Curve" accident at the curve on westbound Sunset Boulevard just west of Doheny Drive in West Hollywood. Voice actor Mel Blanc was severely injured while driving here in 1961, and later sued the City of Los Angeles, prompting a reconstruction of the road. However, the earlier lyrics suggest the long straight starting at "Sunset and Vine" and going past "LaBrea, Schwab's (Pharmacy), and Crescent Heights" (Blvd) would suggest the first curve hit (at a high speed) would be the one at Malmont Lane, 2.4 miles before Doheny. (As it is, the "drag" from Vine to Malmont is also 2.4 miles, but entirely straight.) * A sharp turn on eastbound Interstate 70 just west of exit 259 near Morrison, Colorado th ...
