Take a look at these two pics of the East end of Morrison Bridge dated October 1976 and help me understand where this mystery ramp lead to/from.

Looks like the City Liquidators Express Onramp to I-5.

Not so fast Kitty M., looks like the ramp in question is an OFF ramp from I-5 South. But now looking at it closer, might it be from the CEID?

That’s sort of what I was getting at, Kitten. It appears to be an ON ramp to the Morrison Bridge from City Liquidators.

Looks like it was likely an onramp from Water Ave. A counterpart to the offramp to Water Ave that still exists.

I think you are correct. I have seen pics of the east end before the freeway was built and it was there.

Looks like a small on ramp that was fed from Water Ave from either Stark or Washington St.?

it may have snaked around in the grassy area, providing a quick on ramp from either Stark, Washington St./Water Ave.?

I think you are right, down to Water near Stark. Wouldn’t mind it still being there today. Quite a bit of this land is just sitting fallow, too small for building and too big to not wish it to be useful.

It was definitely from Water Ave. I remember driving on it.
