Description: Caption reads: "A view of Ohio River bridges at Cincinnati, Ohio. Photo by Federal Writers' Photographer, District #12. June 10, 1937." The bridge pictured in the foreground, called the Central Bridge or Cincinnati & Newport Bridge, was finished in 1890 and was the first "standard" cantilever truss bridge to be built. Located between Suspension Bridge and the L&N Bridge, the Central Bridge had a similar type and length of approach spans to that of the L&N bridge, with the piers built from identical stone. Demolished in 1992, the bridge was replaced by the Taylor-Southgate Bridge in 1995. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Caption reads: "View of Bridges from Lower River Road." The railroad-only Southern Bridge, built by the Cincinnati Southern Railroad in 1877, connects western Cincinnati with Ludlow, Kentucky. Built as a a single track bridge on masonry pier with a swing span at the southern end, the bridge was rebuilt in 1922 with modifications to widen the upper half of the original piers with concrete and build a double truss around the original truss. Although the circular pivot pier of the original bridge's swing span was left intact, the reconstructed bridge no longer has a swing or draw span. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Caption reads "Vista in Eden Park. Bridging Victory Parkway in Eden Park, Cincinnati, is the first concrete span of its kind in the world. Its builders left the construction forms in place for some time after it was completed; for grave doubts were expressed as to the structure's ability to stand without support. The buttressed wall in the foreground is surmounted by a symbolic rook (eagle?), carved in stone."

Description: Original description reads: "View of downtown Cincinnati taken from L&N bridge." The L&N Bridge opened in 1872 as the first Ohio River railroad crossing at Cincinnati. It is the region's most eccentric bridge, with remnants of a half-dozen major modifications still visible today. Recently in 2002 it was heavily modified once again, painted purple, and reopened in 2003 as a pedestrian-only bridge. Residents typically refer to it as the 'Purple People Bridge'.

Description: Original description reads: "Cincinnati- C+O bridge, West End." The C&O Railroad bridge was originally built between 1886 and 1889. By 1929 it was obsolete due to increasing weight of freight being transported, and a replacement was built immediately adjacent to the original structure. The original bridge was sold to the Commonwealth of Kentucky and retrofitted as an automobile bridge. In 1974 the original bridge was demolished, the northern pier was extended and the Clay Wade Bailey Bridge was built on the existing piers. View on Ohio Memory.
