The Anthony Wayne Bridge, commonly called the High Level Bridge, and is a downtown Toledo, Ohio landmark named after General Anthony Wayne. It is a suspension bridge that spans the Maumee River.[1][2]
The bridge has some features that give it a unique aesthetic quality, including a sky blue color and various lattice patterns.[1] The overall structure of this bridge was built by the McClintic-Marshall Company, which is the same company that built the Ambassador Bridge in Detroit. Waddell and Hardesty were consulting engineers on its design.[3]
Ohio State Routes 2, 51, and 65 cross the Maumee River on the Anthony Wayne Bridge; it also connects Clayton Street to Woodville Road.[4]
The bridge was designated a historical civil engineering landmark by the American Society of Civil Engineers in 2022.[5]
