The Edison Bridge replaced the Bay Bridge, a lift bridge which was dedicated on February 2 1929. The Bay Bridge was initially a private bridge maintained by the Sandusky Bay Bridge Company, who charged a 50-cent toll; the Ohio Department of Highways bought it for $1,795,000, at first lowering the toll to 25 cents then abolishing it on August 30, 1946.cite web |url=http://66.213.36.5/getkeyw_bool.asp?key=sandusky+bay+bridge&B1=Search&how=cp |title=Object Id: 6249 [1928 postcard] |accessdate=2008-04-07 |accessmonthday= |accessdaymonth= |accessyear= |author= |last= |first= |authorlink= |coauthors= |date= |year= |month= |format= |work= [http://66.213.36.5/ Images in Time] |publisher=Toledo-Lucas County Public Library |pages= |language= |doi= |archiveurl= |archivedate= |quote= ] With the replacement span built and traffic diverted, the Ohio Department of Transportation removed the lift span in the 1980s due to potential maintenance costs and converted its approaches to fishing piers.
