The enterance photo to UrbanOhio:

It took me 10-15 seconds to figure out which city it was.  I thought it was outside of Ohio for a moment.  :x

impressed are ya? ohio is full of pleasant surprises -- lol!

Heh

I can't wait to see a picture taken from the same vantage point once the new bridge is done. 

The camera would have to pan to the right to be able to view the new bridge, the tower for which can be seen today. Visit construction webcams at:

The bridge is slated to be done by the end of summer or early fall.

so the new bridge isn't replacing the one shown in the photo?

That's good news!  The Anthony Wayne bridge is definitly a landmark....it always impressed me when I saw it from I-75 at night.

I like driving on the Turnpike and as you cross the Maumee River you get a beautiful glimpse of the Toledo skyline off in the distance!

What traffic (road) is the Anthony Wayne bridge carrying?

Oh 2, IIRC.

I love that view to.  I've only been that way once and I knew DT Toledo was right up the Maumee so I just glanced over while driving to see if I could view the skyline at all and I wasn't disappointed.  You can't see a lot of detail from that vantage point, but I kind of like looking at skylines from a distance; it's looks very imposing looking off in the distance and seeing towers almost coming out of nowhere.

the Skyway will overshadow nearly every bridge in the Midwest (excluding the Mackinac Bridge of course) in terms of sheer magnitude- over 400 foot structural height, 135 foot roadway height, and nearly 9,000 foot total length including the sections over land. I can't wait to see it done.

 

well its no pulaski skyway. heh.
