Tribute Memorial Park is “beautiful,” a fitting remembrance to Mr. Burris and the four iron workers — Arden Clark II, Robert Lipinski, Michael Moreau, and Michael Phillips — who were killed Feb. 16, 2004, when a gantry crane used to position precast concrete bridge sections collapsed while it was being moved. Four other men were seriously injured when the ironworkers were killed.
Centerpiece of the park is a kinetic metal sculpture atop four concrete columns. The artwork has arms attached to eight propellers that spin in the wind and is the creation of Chicago artist Evan Lewis.
Memorial Park, which recognizes the workers who built the Maumee River crossing and honors the five who lost their lives in the course of the $237 million project.
Beneath the sculpture is a plaque honoring the bridge’s builders, especially the five people who died."
