Hanover Street Bridge

Hanover Street Bridge

The Hanover Street Bridge is located in Baltimore, Maryland. Known as Maryland Route 2, it runs south away from downtown Baltimore, from the western base of the industrialized Locust Point peninsula and crosses over the Middle Branch of the Patapsco River to the neighborhood of Cherry Hill.

Designed by John E. Greiner, the bridge was constructed in 1916 and is considered a Beaux Arts-style reinforced cantilever bridge. [citation

On May 30, 1993, Baltimore Mayor Kurt Schmoke officially renamed the bridge the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Bridge.
