Cleveland:Fulton Road Bridge


This is a view of the Fulton Road Bridge in Cleveland taken on Saturday March 19, 1994. This is the day before my 37th birthday. Back in the late 60's - early 70's I spent alot of time down in this area. Like many Cleveland landmarks this bridge fell into disrepair. Eventually the bridge needed to be replaced. This set into motion one of the more comical events in recent Cleveland History. The first three attempts to implode this bridge on Saturday morning April 28, 2007 didn't go as planned. A number of videos appeared on YouTube showing the comical attempts, with the sound of an explosion, but with the bridge remaining standing. It was finally brought down on Tuesday May 2.
