Port authority wins fight for higher railway bridge
Lorain authorities secured Army Corps of Engineers approval to design a higher Norfolk and Western Railway bridge over the Black River. The new vertical lift span would clear the river by about 120 feet, replacing a planned 100-foot clearance. Costs are projected in the multi million range, largely funded by the federal government, with the design to begin once the agreement with the railroad is amended. The bridge is part of Lorain’s $22 million federal harbor program and aims to support river navigation and area development near Henderson Drive.
