| Fifth Avenue Bridge — Niles, Ohio. The Iron Bridge with its wooden roadway provided access to Salt-Spring Road from the end of Fifth Avenue. This bridge was often referred to as a 'Humpback Bridge' due to the upward arch of the roadway. This bridge was damaged in 2011 and replaced with a modern steel structure. |

View of the wooden planks that would 'rattle' when you rode over the bridge. This was a sound that you remembered for a long time. |
