While most bridges are seen strictly as a way to get from point “A” to point “B” some are finding new life as tourist attractions, works of art and even gallery space. Recently, the folks from Ingenuity Fest transformed the former streetcar level of Veteran’s Memorial Bridge, that’s the space under the vehicular level, into a one of a kind showcase of art and technology – that they called the Bridge Project.

Plus we'll travel to the bridge capital of Ohio, Ashtabula County.

And if you find yourself without enough time to visit Ashtabula County’s many bridges you may want to check out the work of filmmaker Alexander Boxerbaum who uses time lapse photography to document the bridges of Cleveland.

Plus we meet a man who got the bridge of his dreams by building it himself.
