Glover Cary Bridge, Continuous truss bridge across Ohio River in Owensboro, United States.
The Glover Cary Bridge connects Owensboro, Kentucky to Spencer County, Indiana with a main span of 750 feet and a total length of 4,623 feet.
Designed by Modjeski and Masters and constructed by Hunter Steel Company of Pittsburgh, the bridge opened to traffic in September 1940 as a toll structure.
The bridge bears the name of Kentucky Congressman Glover H. Cary, who served in the House of Representatives from 1931 until his death in 1936.
