Veterans' Glass City Skyway
Posted November 8, 2007, by Chris Light (cjkadj [at] juno [dot] com)

Veterans' Glass City Skyway replaces the Craig Memorial Bridge as the crossing of I-280 over the Maumee River. It's not yet an historic bridge, beyond ODOT's claim that "single project ever undertaken by the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT)!" Begun in April 1999, it opened to traffic in 2007.
