Charles Berry Bascule Bridge ( A historic structure in Lorain, Ohio)

A Brief History
The Erie Avenue Bridge was built in the late 1930s and opened for traffic in the fall of 1940. At the time of its construction, it was the largest Bascule Bridge in the world. It remained unchanged until major bridge rehabilitation was completed in 1988.

The bridge under construction During the construction period, the bridge's deck, lift motors, drive system, consoles, boilers, and lighting systems were all replaced. In addition, a fire and security system, including TV cameras and monitors, and an auxiliary generator were added. The Bridge was also repainted at this time. On Veterans Day in 1988, the bridge was renamed the Charles Berry Bridge in Honor of Charles Berry, a Marine from Lorain who lost his life in the battle of Iwo Jima, and was awarded The Congressional Medal of Honor.

On July 1, 1989, O.D.O.T. took over the funding of the Bridge. This saves the County approximately $550,000 per year from the General Fund. The Charles Berry Bridge is one of the 3 bridges in the state that O.D.O.T. funds.

In 1998 the submarine cables that used to carry power and control cables to the East side were removed, and new fiber optics for control were installed in its place. The Main Power Supply for the East Tower is now fed from the East side power source. A programmable logic control (PLC) was installed to replace the mechanical relays in both towers. An auxiliary generator was also added to the East side. Also at this time, there was a new maintenance building built for the bridge. In 1999 the bridge was completely repainted. Repainting is done approximately every 10 years. All of this work was done at no cost to the County.

With the additions that have been made and proper maintenance to the bridge, there is no reason why the bridge would not last well into the 21st Century.

MAY FLIES ON LAKE ERIE ( All part of Mother nature's plan)

Mayflies typically come to Lake Erie around the middle of May and last through June and into July. When the water temperature hits the mid 60-degree mark. They are most commonly seen along the shoreline and the islands during this period .

While the MAYFLY is harmless and a vital indicator of clean water, they do create quite a nuisance to us humans. They live only 24 to 48 hours and are drawn to artificial light. The heaviest hatches occur in waves from June to July. (Which in Lorain was today.)

They become a summer food source for the popular sportfish of Lake Erie like the Yellow Perch and Walleye. May Flies are Mother Natures way of welcoming us to Summer.

Hoping you all have a great day.
