Description: Cleveland Memorial Shoreway, a WPA project initiated in 1935-6, running from Ninth Street to 55th Street, was the first east-west freeway in Cleveland; at $8.2 million, it was the most expensive public work in the nation. Enough of the shoreway was completed to permit access to the Great Lakes Exposition of 1936; the length of the road was not opened for traffic until 1938. View of Cleveland Shoreway, approaching Ninth Street; Terminal Tower in distance at left, City Hall at right. Reverse reads: "Approaching Cleveland. New Lakefront highway." View on Ohio Memory.
