    Sections of the curb on the 4th Street bridge resemble a crumb cake. Flakes of concrete litter the road, and rusted rebar is exposed in places along the curb.

    About 19,110 cars use the bridge each day, according to a 2006 count by the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission. Commuters heading north out of Downtown crowd the bridge each evening.
