The Veterans Memorial Bridge and Subway Station in downtown Cleveland will be open to the public for a free, self-guided tour on Saturday, July 6 from 9am to 3pm. Visitors will have the chance to glimpse into the city’s past, when streetcars were the main mode of transportation. They will also see a number of interesting exhibits as well as great views of downtown Cleveland, Lake Erie, the Cuyahoga River and the streetcar station.
Ed Fitzgerald, Cuyahoga County Executive, said, “Tourists will get a feeling for the era as well as what life was like when streetcars were the only major form of public transportation. Those who had once ridden the streetcars will reminisce of their past and simpler times and younger generations are able to witness a well-preserved piece of Cleveland history.”
Last year, more than 2,000 visitors took part in the tour. The entrance to the venue is at the Department of Public Works Garage, located at 2433 Superior Viaduct at the intersection of West 25th Street and Detroit Avenue.
