Roebling

The view looking from Covington, Kentucky over the Ohio River to downtown Cincinnati, Ohio on the John A. Roebling Suspension Bridge.

 

Fun fact: Roebling designed the Brooklyn Bridge in New York which was completed in 1883 largely using design features from this one, which was completed 17 years earlier in 1866.

 

Another fun fact: At the time of its completion, the bridge was the longest suspension bridge in the world.

 

One more fun fact: The actor Dustin Hoffman hummed along to the whirring of the tire noise in the backseat of a convertible being driven by Tom Cruise in the movie "Rain Man" which was shot on this bridge.
