Sciotoville Bridge, Steel railway bridge in Sciotoville, United States
The Sciotoville Bridge is a railway crossing over the Ohio River between Ohio and Kentucky, built with two large steel truss sections that support train traffic. The structure allows freight trains to pass over water traffic moving below on the river.
The bridge was completed in 1916 and served as an important railway connection between Ashland and Columbus. It became a key link in the regional rail network, significantly improving freight transport between the two states.
The McClintick-Marshall Construction Company incorporated local materials and advanced engineering methods to construct this substantial transportation connection between two states.
The best vantage point is from the Ohio River side, where you can see the full structure and watch barges pass underneath. Visitors should remember this is an active railroad bridge, so keep a safe distance from passing trains.
After its completion in 1917, it briefly held the title of the world's longest continuous truss span until 1945. This achievement shows how advanced the bridge was at the time before other structures surpassed it.
