Restoration of the Cable Ends of the Covington and Cincinnati Suspension Bridge
The Covington and Cincinnati Suspension Bridge was designed and built by John Roeblinġ. Begun in 1856, the work of construction was interrupted by the vicissitudes of the War of the Rebellion, and the bridge was only completed and opened to travel January 1st, 1867. It was the first bridge built over the Ohio River below Wheeling, and had the longest span of any bridge in existence until it yielded the supremacy to the New York and Brooklyn Bridge, built in 1870–83 by the same engineer. The cable system is composed of two main cables 12⅓ ins. diameter,cradled from 50 ft.
