The Lane Avenue Bridge is located on the campus of Ohio State University. It was completed in just 15 months, 5 months ahead of schedule. This bridge carries the main entrance to OSU, which makes it a relatively important structure for its size.

The structure where the stay cables attach to the towers is all one large piece of metal on the top of each tower. These two attachement fabrications were the two largest pieces of metal to ever be galvanized up to that date.
