Cherry Street Lift Bridge
The Cherry Street lift bridge over the Keating Channel was the smaller of two bascule lift bridges on Cherry Street, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The bridge spanned the canalized mouth of the Don River where it empties into Toronto Harbour. It was the fourth bridge at that location, before being replaced by the Cherry Street North bridge.

Martin Luther King Bridge (Toledo, Ohio)
The Martin Luther King Memorial Bridge (formerly Cherry Street Bridge) is a double-leaf bascule bridge adjacent to downtown Toledo, Ohio, where Cherry Street crosses the Maumee River to become Main Street on the east side of the city. The structure opened to traffic in 1914. History In 2001 the bridge started what was to have been a $31 million USD refurbishment.

The bridge's original deck was an open metal mesh. The bridge was designed by Arnold W. Brunner and built by Osborn Engineering Osborn En ...
