5-645: The Innerbelt Bridge was a truss arch bridge in Cleveland, Ohio carrying Interstate 90 / Innerbelt Freeway over the Cuyahoga River . The bridge, completed in 1959, was 4,233 feet (1,290 m) in length and 116.25 feet (35.43 m) in width, built as the widest bridge in Ohio. The Innerbelt Bridge replaced the Central Viaduct. The bridge had been intended to carry Interstate 71 , but due to
10-529: The apex, it will normally be a two-hinged arch . In the Iron Bridge shown below, the structure of each frame emulates the kind of structure that previously had been made of wood . Such a wood structure uses closely fitted beams pinned together, so the members within the frames are not free to move relative to one another, as they are in a pin-jointed truss structure that allows rotation at the pin joint. Such rigid structures (which impose bending stresses upon
15-580: The completion of the westbound Voinovich bridge, built immediately to the north. Dismantling of the Innerbelt Bridge began January 13, 2014, and five of the nine remaining spans were imploded at dawn on July 12 with the remainder of the structure removed in the following weeks. The eastbound Voinovich bridge, built in the former location of the Innerbelt Bridge, opened in September 2016. Truss arch bridge A truss arch bridge combines
20-423: The elements of the truss bridge and the arch bridge . The actual resolution of forces will depend upon the bridge' design . If no horizontal thrusting forces are generated, this becomes an arch-shaped truss which is essentially a bent beam – see moon bridge for an example. If horizontal thrust is generated but the apex of the arch is a pin joint, this is termed as a three-hinged arch . If no hinge exists at
25-607: The lack of completion of a highway, carried Interstate 90 instead. On November 13, 2008, all commercial truck traffic was banned from the bridge because it was deemed structurally deficient after a review of a computer analysis. This had been rectified by mid-2010. As part of the Innerbelt Freeway rebuild, the bridge was replaced by the George V. Voinovich Bridges . The Innerbelt Bridge was vacated in November 2013 after
