Unglued skyway, epoxy problem deemed no hazard

Glue that secures stainless-steel sheathing on the Veterans' Glass City Skyway's stay cables has turned out not to be as durable as the bridge's designers or builders expected it to be.

The sheaths, which help protect the stay cables from the elements and add a decorative, light-reflecting feature to the bridge, were attached with epoxy during the bridge's construction to cradles passing through the bridge's pylon, or central tower, according to a Toledo Blade report, Aug. 16.
