Cincinnati–Newport Bridge, Cantilever bridge between Newport and Cincinnati, US
The Cincinnati-Newport Bridge spans across the Ohio River with metal trusses connecting the states of Kentucky and Ohio at coordinates 39.096111, -84.501111.
Constructed between 1886 and 1890, this bridge marked the first permanent crossing point between Newport, Kentucky and Cincinnati, Ohio for railroad transportation.
The bridge structure represents late 19th century engineering methods, displaying the industrial capabilities and transportation needs of the expanding American Midwest.
The bridge carried both railroad tracks and a twenty-foot wide path for horse carriages, which later transformed into automobile lanes after 1904.
Following its closure to vehicles in 2002, workers painted the bridge purple and converted it into a pedestrian walkway for community events.
