Bridge in Cleveland, Ohio From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cuyahoga River Bridge #1, also known as the Iron Curtain Bridge and previously known as the First Flats Rail Bridge, is a railroad bridge lift bridge that crosses the Cuyahoga River in Cleveland, Ohio, United States. The bridge gets its "number 1" name from the fact that it is the farthest downstream crossing of the Cuyahoga River proper before it empties into Lake Erie (the only other crossing is the Old River Bridge, which crosses the former course of the Cuyahoga). The bridge is of similar design to many of the other railroad bridges in the Cleveland area.
