CLEVELAND -- A piece of local history in shambles this morning at Euclid Beach Park. The Euclid Beach arch at East 158th and Lakeshore was heavily damaged after a driver crashed into the monument early Thursday morning. It's not sure what time the accident happened.

i cant believe they never put those steel bumper poles around it!

 

oh well, it was an accident what can you do? at least it can be fixed.

Almost certainly a drunk driver, who will lay low until he/she can pass, and then will claim that the SUV was stolen.

The arch is beautiful, but its context makes the potential for its loss less depressing. Perhaps they could salvage the left tower at least?

other way around. the tower is perfectly in context. the old folks apts are whats out of context.

 

i have no idea but from the pics it looks like it could be fixed to me.

 

if not what a shame, that's all thats left of such a big part of local history.

Sad.

The arch has been completely repaired.

It was on the news, and they had video. I'm not in Cleveland right now, but maybe in a few days.

It looks like they added a little traffic island in the middle of the drive, as well as painted the sign and worked on the landscaping.

I saw a video of it on the news too. They did a good job with the repair.

Nice pictures, too.

Except for the last one with the, what appears to be, boarded up Pizza Smut.

thx for the update mov.

 

nice repair work, but too bad they are right back where they started -- with no protective steel bumper posts around it someone is going to hit it again.
