The Veterans' Glass City Skyway, commonly referred to as the Toledo Skyway Bridge, is a cable-stayed bridge on Interstate 280 in Toledo, Ohio. After many delays, it opened in 2007.
The bridge has supplanted traffic and removed associated delays from the nearby bascule bridge known as the Craig Memorial Bridge, which until its transfer to local control was one of the last remaining moveable bridges on the Interstate highway system.

Famous quotes containing the words glass and/or city:
“It is difficult to read. The page is dark.
Yet he knows what it is that he expects.
The page is blank or a frame without a glass
Or a glass that is empty when he looks.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“Not to find one’s way in a city may well be uninteresting and banal. It requires ignorance—nothing more. But to lose oneself in a city—as one loses oneself in a forest—that calls for a quite different schooling. Then, signboard and street names, passers-by, roofs, kiosks, or bars must speak to the wanderer like a cracking twig under his feet in the forest.”
—Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
