| • | The Daniel Hoan Memorial Bridge is a long span bridge that connects Interstate 794 in downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin to the Lake Freeway across the inner harbor. It is named after Daniel Hoan, a former mayor of Milwaukee.
Although construction on the bridge lasted briefly from 1970 until 1972, it did not open to traffic until 1977 due to public backlash against the planned Milwaukee County freeway system. This halted completion of the connecting roadways and led to the Hoan Bridge being known as "The Bridge to Nowhere." Its unfinished state was used as the site of the car chase scene in the movie The Blues Brothers.
The Hoan Bridge was temporarily closed in 2000 when two of three support beams failed, causing the north-bound lane to buckle and sag, leaving the span in a near collapsed state.
