Cherry Street is a major east–west roadway in Toledo, Ohio. It crosses the Maumee River over the Martin Luther King Bridge, a bascule lift bridge, built in 1913.[1] [2]
Toledo's first medical college was constructed at the corner of Cherry and Page streets, in 1896.[3]
The street is approximately one mile south of Interstate 280.[4]
The bridge was recognized as introducing an innovative technique for lift bridges to carry electric trolley and streetcars, powered by overhead wires.[2] The bridge was modernized in 2001.[4]
