Taylor–Southgate Bridge, Truss road bridge between Newport, Kentucky and Cincinnati, Ohio, United States.
The Taylor-Southgate Bridge extends 1,850 feet across the Ohio River with four traffic lanes and pedestrian walkways on both sides.
This steel structure, completed in 1995 at a cost of 56 million dollars, replaced the Central Bridge from 1890 that had structural problems.
The bridge bears the names of James Taylor Jr and Richard Southgate, two influential early settlers who shaped the development of Newport.
The bridge carries US Route 27 traffic and connects residents of Northern Kentucky to downtown Cincinnati for work, entertainment, and sports events.
The structure forms part of the background view from the Great American Ball Park, where Cincinnati Reds play their home baseball games.
