The Cincinnati–Newport Bridge, also known as the Central Bridge, was a cantilever bridge which crossed the Ohio River between Newport, Kentucky, and Cincinnati, Ohio. It was completed in 1890 [1] and demolished in 1992 [2] to make way for the Taylor–Southgate Bridge, which opened in 1995.
Some pieces of the ornate ironwork were transferred from the Cincinnati–Newport Bridge to the Taylor–Southgate Bridge. [3]
