Detroit–Superior Bridge, Double-decker arch bridge in Cleveland, United States
The Detroit-Superior Bridge is a double-decker arch structure spanning the Cuyahoga River and connecting the west side of Cleveland to the east side. The upper deck carries vehicular traffic while the lower level was originally designed to accommodate streetcars.
The bridge was completed in 1918 and represented a major engineering achievement as one of the world's largest steel and concrete structures of that era. Its construction transformed connectivity across the Cuyahoga River and played an important role in the city's development.
The bridge received its Veterans Memorial designation in 1989 and serves as a tribute to the city's military service members. Visitors can see inscriptions and memorials throughout the structure that honor this connection to local history.
The best way to experience the bridge is on foot or by car, with the upper deck open to regular traffic. Guided tours are offered during specific times of the year to explore the architectural details and structural design more closely.
The bridge is supported by 12 massive concrete arches, an engineering feat that many visitors overlook when viewing it from above. These arches are particularly striking when seen from below, revealing the construction quality from a different angle.
