William H. Harsha Bridge, Cable-stayed bridge between Maysville and Aberdeen across Ohio River, United States
The William H. Harsha Bridge extends 2,100 feet across the Ohio River with a main span of 1,050 feet using cable-stayed construction techniques.
Construction of this infrastructure project began in April 1997 and reached completion in October 2000, becoming Kentucky's first cable-stayed bridge.
The bridge honors William Harsha, who represented Ohio in the United States House of Representatives from 1961 to 1981.
The structure carries U.S. Route 68 traffic between Kentucky and Ohio with a 48-foot wide deck designed for vehicles exceeding 15 tons.
Engineers incorporated plastic tubes with spiral ridges around the stay cables to prevent vibration issues that affected previous bridge designs.
