Owlester AI · from 1 source ·
An 1897 railroad swing bridge in Toledo, Ohio, purchased for $1 in 2004, is set for a $65 million overhaul. The project aims to replace nine fixed spans and reinforce the movable section to carry heavier railcars, potentially increasing freight capacity. Federal funding will cover two-thirds of the cost, with the remainder funded by the railway and state support. Construction is expected to begin in 2029.
