Throughout life there are bridges we all must cross. Some lead to another county, across a river, over a stream, or simply serve as a nice place to walk. Whatever their purpose, there are some very unique bridges scattered across the Bluegrass State.
Here are 10 amazing bridges worth seeing in Kentucky:
- Big Four Bridge
GeoSwan This pedestrian bridge was created in Louisville for residents of Louisville and Indiana to walk or jog on. Beautiful view and well lit at night.
- John A Roebling Suspension Bridge
Glabb This gothic looking suspension bridge, “bridges” the gap between Covington Kentucky and Cincinnati, Ohio, over the Ohio River.
- College Street Bridge
Nyttend This bridge in Bowling Green crosses over the Barren River and gives pedestrians a great view.
- East Street Main Bridge

- L&N Bridge

All these bridges except number 10 are on the state registry of historic bridges. They were all made well enough to last for decades. Not to mention, each one provides a breath taking view of the surrounding Bluegrass. We can imagine a horse trotting across, or an old motor car, when they were made lighter.
