Photos: Cleveland residents get inside look at the historic Veterans Memorial Bridge & Subway
Once the largest double-deck concrete bridge at the time of completion in 1918, the Veteran's Memorial Bridge continues to stand front and center among Cleveland's architecture. Street cars, tunnels and the four original tracks still stand as they were in 1917 when it opened to the public on Christmas Day. The Subway contained six stations, four restrooms and pedestrian tunnels—serving as a major hub for commuter transportation until the discontinuation of streetcar service on January 24, 1954.
