- ^ The bridge informally opened to railroad traffic on March 5, 1957. However, the bridge did not lift until April 1, 1957, the date the railroad marked as its completion.
- ^ The 1882 was a low truss bridge with a swing span at the Cuyahoga River. The 1907 replacement was a high plate girder span with a Scherzer rolling bridge at the Cuyahoga River. The rolling lift bridge was replaced in 1957 with a 267-foot (81 m) high lift bridge.
