Abstract
A $220 million bridge in Toledo, Ohio, features a one-of-a-kind design incorporating several unique new features of cable-stayed technology. Once completed, the Maumee River Crossing will be the second tallest structure in Toledo, and a stunning addition to the city's skyline. This article provides an overview of the 1,225 ft Maumee River Bridge, with its single soaring 404 ft tall pylon inlaid with shatter-resistant glass on each of its 4 sides. By day, the glass will reflect the skyline of Toledo, while at night, the reflective surface will be backlit with dramatic lighting arrays capable of changing color displays.
