Jesse Stuart Memorial Bridge, Road bridge across Ohio River between Greenup County, Kentucky and Scioto County, Ohio, United States
The Jesse Stuart Memorial Bridge extends 3,526 feet over the Ohio River, incorporating a plate girder design with a main span measuring 380 feet.
The construction of the bridge began in March 1984 by Traylor Brothers of Evansville, Indiana, with a total investment of 18.3 million dollars from federal and state funds.
The bridge bears the name of Jesse Stuart, a Kentucky author who wrote extensively about life in the Appalachian region during the early 20th century.
The structure carries two lanes of Kentucky Route 10 and State Route 253, connecting the intersection of AA Highway and US Route 23 to US Route 52.
The bridge sits directly atop the Greenup Locks and Dam complex, with restricted access to observation platforms following security measures implemented after September 11, 2001.
