Beautiful old historic bridge. I walked from the Westin Hotel down the river and across this bridge and had breakfast on the Kentucky side. There are great views of the city and the Bengals Stadium from this bridge. Had breakfast at the Marriott with a great view of the river. More

The bridge is in bad shape and has to be repaired. Several people have had accidents using this bridge. When safe it is great to view, however. More

First my I say it was build prior to its cousin that spans the East river (which we should all know) secondly it is way more fun to walk over, I iconic fact of walking over the Brooklyn bridge is lost on the fact you could have a jack*ss run over you with a bike or the morons who do... More

We parked for free (on Sunday) on the Ohio side of the bridge by the boat launch and visited the Steamboat Monument and then walked to the bridge. We walked across it and visited the historic murals on the Kentucky side of the river. It was a great place to take pictures of the Cincy's skyline and the bridge. More

WE LOVE THIS BRIDGE--FOF BIKE RIDING (RENT ON CINCY SIDE), FOR SKATING, WALKING THE DOGS, OR JUST TO SPEND SO BREEZY VIEW TIME. Cross the river and enjoy the park on one side and the Newport stoes and restaurants or the Newport Aquarium on the other. Its all GREAT! Potted flowers give photographers a scenic backdrop if the river isn't... More

This is a very important historic bridge. Roebling perfected the techniques of suspension bridge design and construction here before moving on to New York to build The Brooklyn Bridge. Walk across it and you are walking through American engineering history. More

You call it the Roebling Suspension bridge because of it's maker and builder who used this design for the Brookland bridge in New York. We that are Native to this land call it the "Singing Bridge" because of the music the grates make when you drive over them. I have many fond memories of riding and driving over this bridge.... More

T me, a bridge is a bridge. This was designed by John Roebling, designer of the Brooklyn Bridge and the Trenton N. J. Bridge. Of they don't get around to making repairs pretty soon, you may not want to drive over it. More

It's a bridge! The neat part of it though is that this is the guy who designed the Brooklyn Bridge. But otherwise, it's just a bridge. More

Worked in a steel mill and cranes use Roebling cables to lift the loads. Beautiful addition to the riverfront. More
