Price, Mark J. "Local History: Gleeful motorists welcomed Akron Expressway in 1954" Akron Beacon Journal, Ohio.com, http://www.ohio.com/lifestyle/history/local-history-gleeful-motorists-welcomed-akron-expressway-in-1954-1.510441 (accessed 3/13/2015). / Main Bottleneck in finishing the North leg of the North-South Expressway has been this bridge over the Little Cuyahoga River. If the $1,900,000 structure had been finished two years ago last week, it would have been on schedule. A steel shortage, labor trouble and some bad weather forced the job behind schedule. Steel work is expected to be finished this year and the concrete deck is scheduled to go on next Spring. This is what city officials saw Friday when they made a tour of the entire project in a helicopter.
