Beautiful old suspension bridge that served as the prototype for the Brooklyn bridge. The open metal grate roadway makes a sound on with your tires that gives the bridge one of its nicknames "the singing bridge".

I love walking across this bridge and over into riverfront park. There's free parking in Covington underneath the bridge as long as theres not an event going on nearby.

Picturesque bridge that offers great views of both sides of the river. Nice photo spot, especially on the Cincinnati side, where there's a park right beside it.

It's a bridge that crosses the Ohio River and connects Ohio and Kentucky. Traffic can be horrible at times. The view is beautiful. Can be dangerous if you break down on it.

The claim of date for the bridge is 1869. If you look at the top center of the stone arches it is marked 1865. Every year recently they have Roeblingfest where an informed guide takes you on a tour. I really should go myself, such a work of art. Exercise caution riding a motorcycle across!

As bridges go, this one is about average. It seemed structurally sound and wheelchair accessible.

Iconic bridge of Cincinnati. Beautiful to photograph. This was John A. Roebling's predecessor model for his most famous design, The Brooklyn Bridge.

A scenic park directly across the Ohio River from Downtown Cincinnati, OH.
The mural on the wall there is beautiful and historically detailed. There are many great photos to capture of Covington, KY and Cincinnati's skyline (including Great American Ballpark and Paul Brown Stadium)

A very interesting bridge to look at. There are 5 bridges that all converge over the Ohio River and cross from Kentucky into Cincinnati. The Roebling Bridge built in the 1860s, is the one that you will pause and study. It is archetecually majestic and visually pleasing. It is interesting in it's design and build.

I found myself amazed. I wondered how mankind could build such a thing before modern power tools, manlifts, cranes, gasoline engines, electricity, and CAD engineering programs. Someone had to visualize and figure this all out in their head.

The impact and what this bridge must of ment to the citizens of Covington and Cincinnati must have been enormous at that time. I imagine todays analogy would be the U.S. Interstate road system in the '50s & '60s or the development of the intetnet in the '80s & '90s would be similarly life changing. Each free and opening up a brand new world to the everyday common man in it's time.

John A. Roebling Company designed and built this and then went on and built the world famous Brooklyn Bridge in NY. There would not be a Brooklyn Bridge if there wasn't this bridge first. Learn more on youtube. Search John A Roebling Company Trenton NJ.

Love this place. However, it would be better if the bridge allow visitors to go to the top.

Roebling Suspension Bridge is definitely a place of interest to visit. At the age of 150, it is older than the well-known classical suspension bridge-- Brooklyn Bridge in New York City, although much shorter. It would be more meaningful and symbolic if it could be completed before Civil War as Ohio was a free state, when Kentucky was a slavery state. With walkways( on double sides) free to walk, you can enjoy watching the sceneries along double sides of the river. And there's one thing worth mentioning: the running way is not made of asphalt, but hollow metal grids! Thus, the sound from the cars' driving on the bridge are louder than the ordinary ones.
