Among other things, Cincinnati can boast of a very cool suspension bridge: the John A. Roebling Suspension Bridge that crosses the Ohio River between downtown Cincinnati and Covington, Kentucky.
Roebling designed the bridge, which opened in 1867. His name may be familiar, because he also designed the Brooklyn Bridge. At the time Roebling finished his span across the Ohio River, it was the longest suspension bridge in the world.
The Roebling Suspension Bridge is a beautiful, elegant part of downtown Cincinnati, with its graceful lines and gold-topped stone arches that have been darkened by time. Unfortunately, it’s not easy to get to the bridge. You have to cross a highway, pass the Great American Ballpark and the Underground Railroad Museum, navigate some construction sites and vacant parking lots, and keep an eye out for sketchy-looking characters. Although we made it to the bridge, we couldn’t figure out how to get down to the banks of the Ohio River itself.
For an historic river town, Cincinnati doesn’t really do much to make the Ohio River an accessible part of its downtown area.

We have all heard of the Brooklyn Bridge well the suspension bridge pictured here was built by the same man John A. This bridge was built first which makes it the oldest wire cable suspension bridge in the country. The National Park Service restored it to its original design as an aqueduct bridge it does carry cars.
