Anthony Wayne Bridge, Suspension bridge in Toledo, United States.
The Anthony Wayne Bridge is a suspension bridge in Toledo, Ohio, that crosses the Maumee River and links the downtown area to the eastern neighborhoods. Two tall towers support the main span over the water, and the deck carries several state routes.
The bridge was built between 1929 and 1931, when Toledo was growing and needed a solid crossing over the Maumee River. It replaced older crossings and quickly became a central part of the city's road network.
The bridge is named after Anthony Wayne, an American general from the 18th century who fought near this region. Locals and visitors alike cross it on foot or by car, with open views of the Maumee River on both sides.
The bridge can be crossed on foot or by car, and there is a clear path for pedestrians along the side. Lighting along the deck makes it easy to use in the evening or at night.
Since the removal of the Fort Steuben Bridge in 2012, this is the only suspension bridge that remains in Ohio's state highway system. That makes it a rare example of this type of road crossing in the state.
