Description: Original description reads: "Mouth of Licking River and L&N Bridge." There are actually two bridges visible in this photograph. In the foreground is the Central Bridge (demolished in 1992 and replaced with the Taylor-Southgate Bridge in 1995 in the same location) and the L&N Railroad Bridge behind. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: This photograph shows the Y-Bridge in Zanesville, Ohio, covered in snow during winter. The bridge spans the confluence of the Licking and Muskingum Rivers, and carries the traffic of Route 40 (Main Street and West Main Street), as well as Linden Avenue. The first bridge was built in 1814 and has been reconstructed many times since the 1850s. After several iterations (some of them wooden covered bridges) were washed away, the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers constructed a series of dams and locks to regulate the flow of the two rivers. The current concrete and steel bridge, the fifth in the same location, was opened in 1984. The bridge was listed on the National Registered of Historic Places on November 2, 1973.

Description: Portrait of General Catherinus Buckingham (1808-1888), who is credited with designing the third version of Zaneville's Y-Bridge at the confluence of the Licking and Muskingum Rivers. In 1812 a charter was granted to Moses Dillon and others to construct a toll bridge that spanned the confluence, connecting Zanesville with Natchez and West Zanesville. A walled, oak-planked bridge with a central pier where the forks of a "Y" met was opened to the public in 1814. A makeshift structure, this first bridge (1814-1818) needed constant repair and collapsed into the river in 1818. A second bridge (1819-1832) was built on the same site of stronger construction, but was condemned thirteen years later when twelve-inch-thick ice in the river weakened the superstructure. During renovation work in 1832, a section of the bridge collapsed, killing three men, one of whom was Ebenezer Buckingham, an owner of the bridge and father of Catherinus. The third Y-Bridge (1832-1900) stood until 1900 when it was demolished. On January 4, 1902, the fourth Y-Bridge (1902-1979) was opened for foot passengers, and ten days later, for streetcars and wagons. In 1979, the fourth bridge was judged unsafe, and the fifth and current bridge opened on November 9, 1984. View on Ohio Memory.
