Bob Cummings – Lincoln Trail Bridge, Through arch bridge in Hawesville, Kentucky, United States.
The Bob Cummings Lincoln Trail Bridge spans 2,708 feet across the Ohio River, featuring a main span of 825 feet and a deck width of 27.8 feet.
Construction of this vital transportation link began in June 1964, and the bridge officially opened to traffic on December 21, 1966, connecting Indiana with Kentucky.
The bridge received its name in November 1974 to honor Bob Cummings, the editor of the Cannelton News who dedicated his work to community development until 1971.
