Ironton–Russell Bridge, Cantilever bridge between Ironton and Russell, United States.
The bridge spans 2,342 feet across the Ohio River, featuring a central span of 518 feet and two narrow traffic lanes.
The Wisconsin Bridge and Iron Company constructed this transportation link in 1922, making it the first highway crossing between Parkersburg and Cincinnati.
The bridge served as a toll system for both vehicles and pedestrians until the Ohio Department of Transportation acquired it and removed the fees.
Temperature restrictions required closure when readings dropped below -5 degrees Fahrenheit due to the steel composition of the structure.
The bridge incorporated vertical members with variable depth design, making them wider in the middle to handle different load distributions.
