Valley View Bridge, Road bridge in Valley View, Ohio.
The Valley View Bridge spans 4,155 feet across the Cuyahoga River and Ohio & Erie Canal, reaching a height of 213 feet above the valley floor.
The construction of this steel multi-stringer highway bridge began in 1971 as part of the Outerbelt South Freeway project and opened to traffic in 1977.
The Ohio Department of Transportation named the structure Union Workers Memorial Bridge in 2010 to recognize the contributions of labor workers in infrastructure development.
The bridge system now includes three parallel structures that handle 180,000 vehicles daily, with the middle bridge opening in June 2023 to reduce traffic congestion.
The bridge structure provides nesting locations for peregrine falcons, creating an unexpected wildlife habitat above the Cuyahoga River valley.
