In this work, Gross-Bettelheim abstracted Cleveland’s High Level Bridge. Steel beams run diagonal to telephone wires, street railings, and the roofs of houses, filling the scene with energy. The bridge was a popular icon in the city during the first half of the 20th century due to its massive structure and sleek design. The lack of human figures suggests Gross-Bettelheim's interest lay in the construction of the bridge rather than its role as a main route for city travelers during the workday.
