The . John A. Roebling Suspension Bridge has been a symbol of Cincinnati since its completion in 1866. The iconic bridge connects downtown Cincinnati, Ohio, and Covington in the state of Kentucky, and provides easy access to each of the city’s popular attractions.
Designed and built by John A. Roebling, who also built the Brooklyn Bridge, the bridge was the longest in the world when it was completed in 1867 at 1,057 feet and was the first bridge to utilize both diagonal stays and vertical suspenders.
An integral part of both cities’ skylines, the Bridge is a National Historic Landmark and is celebrated each year at the Roeblingfest, where local restaurants, bars, café, and artists come together and showcase their talents.
