John A. Roebling Suspension Bridge, Suspension bridge in Cincinnati, United States
Two limestone towers support steel cables spanning 322 meters across the Ohio River, connecting Cincinnati, Ohio with Covington, Kentucky.
The bridge, completed in 1867 by John Augustus Roebling, held the record for the longest suspension bridge before the construction of Brooklyn Bridge.
The bridge design influenced modern engineering practices and established new standards for long-span bridge construction in North America.
Pedestrians and vehicles can cross the Ohio River daily between 6 AM and 11 PM, with dedicated lanes for both types of traffic.
The structure required one million pounds of high-tensile wire from England and received a second set of main cables in 1896 to increase load capacity.
