This is the smallest and final bridge in my bridges over the Cuyahoga River. It is the Stow Street Bridge and there are parks and along each side of the bridge. The street changes it's name to Summit Street which goes on the South side of Kent State University. There are two sets of railroad tracks to cross when using this bridge. You often have to wait to cross the bridge.
The river is rather high from our melt and rain, the bridge is safe even though it is the lowest bridge.
Here is a view of the bridge from under the Haymaker Parkway Bridge. That is a high level bridgeand is above both railroad tracks and is never stopped.
This is a view of the flooded river just for fun. That tree is normally on a small island.
Try to visit some of the neat places people are showing around the world.
Haymaker - what a great name. Evokes memories of great boxers.
ReplyDeleteHope your wife liked those beautiful roses.
Of all the scenes you've shown in the mini bridge(should that be abridged)series this is the most British looking. I actually feel like I could walk along here in any British town. Do the bridges again for me anytime.
ReplyDeleteYou are right FG, traffic is scarce (or next to non-existent) on our gravel path in the bush! But sometimes we go to Kano - West Africa's Cairo - and you see nothing but.
ReplyDeleteWarm greetings!!

I do like your bridges! (I spent this past weekend photographing some!) And that photo of the flooded river was beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThe river looks pretty wild. No fishing in this river for a while, I guess. Bridges are an interesting theme. I like bridges and always like to look and take pictures.
ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed your bridge series. This was a nice bridge with which to conclude the series.
ReplyDeleteThis is a study of the power of water.
ReplyDeleteOur rivers are flooded too and a few roads are closed in spite of the cold weather we've had for the past few days. Glad the bridge is still safe!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures. All that snow melting has the river raging!!
ReplyDeleteWhat great shots! Just marvelous, FG, I love bridges and I love your photos! Thanks for sharing and have a great week!
ReplyDeleteWow. The river's running way high, isn't it? Good that the cut is so deep or you guys could be in serious trouble!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great shot, I love the bridge photo and the waters.
ReplyDeleteYou sure have a lot of bridges in your area! There's just something about bridges that I think is fascinating. Thanks for showing us all your bridges!
ReplyDeleteThat looks sooo cold and damp,from someone who lives in Florida.We went Mexican this week.
ReplyDeleteBe careful down there! I dont see much bridges here, the smaller ones...but i got lots of photos from the city of bridges! :D I enyjoed this set...have anice week!
ReplyDeleteVery interesting photos. I have taken a few photos of bridges with the idea of painting one and never have. Hmmm. A new series???
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the huge participants on MY WORLD. Great Job. The photos of the town looked very peaceful and lovely. Nice scenery. Love the songs in your blog. Have a nice day. :)
ReplyDeleteIt has defintely reminded me of my trip to the Canyons ;D
ReplyDeleteI really really missed that.
How does anyone ever get across the bridge with two sets of train tracks?
ReplyDeleteAs a hydrologist, I approve of this post. The snow melt has entered the river, and interesting that you know which bridge is the lowest.
ReplyDeleteOkay Mr. Tom.... Get off of that fishing boat and write your book!!! You know--the one entitled "Bridges of Kent, Ohio." I want the first autographed copy!!!! Okay????
ReplyDeleteI still like that one fancy bridge (with the gas lights) --which goes to the ritzy area of town!!!!
Thanks for these GREAT posts.

As Babooshka said, this could be anywhere in England! I am used to waitning on trains alot out here too!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy your bridge series, Fishing Guy. Here there are very nice landscapes and an amazing water.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos. I love bridges, big or small.
ReplyDeleteGosh but that is a lot of water coming down Tom. The great thing is it means it is getting warmer at last even if it might not feel like that to us yet.
ReplyDeleteSo much water! Have you managed to get out fishing yet?
ReplyDeleteI've loved all the bridges you've shared-but this smaller one kinda seems extra special!
ReplyDeleteyou can see it's still wintery in your pics. happy mwt.
ReplyDeleteWe haven't had flooding here, but I imagine it'll be coming if the Mississippi River is flooding up north! Fine pictures!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your tour of the bridges and I am glad that the lowest one and you all are safe from the flooding rivers. A nice series of photos. Thanks and happy MWT to you and yours.
