Monumental 1914 Elevation of Elyria Rail Bridge
In 1914 Elyria undertook a major project to elevate the LS MS and later New York Central bridge over East Bridge Street from a two to four track structure, raising height by 10 feet. Work involved undercuts, dirt haulage, and concrete forms, with a two-year timeline and a projected 2.3 million dollar cost. The project faced an injunction from Ely Realty and included earlier track raising and street widening efforts.
