[PRCo] Re: Cleveland Sidaway bridge

[Ken & Tracie]

James Toman's book on the SHRT (Interurbans Special #115) discusses this 
bridge on page 45. You can see part of it in photos on pages 50 and 132.

It replaced a highway bridge around the time the Kingsbury Shops were built. 
It's a foot bridge. It's a neat looking structure. Just north of Long beach, 
there is a similar bridge across the Los Angeles River that carries a 
pipeline. In fact, a temporary suspension bridge like the Sidaway bridge was 
erected in Black Canyon to facilitate worker traffic across the Colorado 
River during the early work on Hoover Dam.
