Ohio River US 27 Bridge No. 2
Mr Baughn
This modern continuous truss replaced a much loved historical cantilever structure known until its demolition as the "Central Bridge". Cincinnati residents or those familiar with the old Central Bridge should look for pics to post. The Central Bridge paired with the old "Cynergy Field" aka "Riverfront Stadium" is shown in many photographs.
