Licking River Bridge

This strange truss bridge was built at some unknown date to replace the 1854 suspension bridge (probably 1880/90), and was itself replaced at some date by the existing bridge (c. 1935). Thanks to Dr. Joseph Gastright for this info |
Newport, 1930 Flood
This bridge is a forerunner to the current span over
the Licking River between Covington and Newport
The bridge end's on Patterson, between 4th and 5th Streets.
The first attempt to build a bridge over the Licking at
11th Street collapsed, killing 40. The Enquirer's story is
here.
