OHIO DOT ENDORSES DESIGN FOR MAUMEE RIVER CROSSING

The Ohio Department of Transportation (DOT) has endorsed a cable-stayed bridge design recommended by a citizens' task force for a new crossing of the Maumee River on Interstate 280 in Toledo, Ohio. The signature bridge will consist of a fanlike plane of cables centered on a single pylon that will rise 380 ft (116 m) from the water's surface, supporting a main span of 1,225 ft (373 m). The 200 ft (61 m) portion of the pylon above the bridge will be cruciform. The areas between the cross's arms are to be filled with glass and lit from within, denoting the importance of glass in Toledo's history. Construction is scheduled to begin by June 2001.
