This is an old photo, not a postcard, that I'm
 told was taken when this bridge first opened

 

That's Indiana Governor Harry Leslie on the right.  Kentucky's
governor didn't make it to the bridge dedication

The bridge opened as a toll bridge, but was freed in
1947.  The story of the bridge, from the 1947
dedication booklet, is here.

The Madison Milton Bridge opened on December 20, 1929.  There was a parade, and speakers, and a fly over, (led by H.  Weir Cook) which dropped floral arrangements on the bridge along with 1000's of congratulatory leaflets.
