Sciotoville Bridge, Steel railway bridge in Sciotoville, United States
The Sciotoville Bridge spans the Ohio River with two continuous steel truss sections, each measuring 775 feet in length, connecting Ohio and Kentucky.
Engineers Gustav Lindenthal and David Barnard Steinman designed this railway bridge, which opened in 1916 as part of a new route from Ashland to Columbus.
The McClintick-Marshall Construction Company incorporated local materials and advanced engineering methods to construct this substantial transportation connection between two states.
The bridge maintains a vertical clearance of 370 feet for coal barges and contains 27,000 cubic yards of concrete with 850,000 pounds of reinforcing steel.
This structure held the record for the longest continuous truss span worldwide from its completion in 1917 until 1945, demonstrating its engineering excellence.
