Bridge Loops: Cincinnati & Newport

The bridges connecting Cincinnati to Newport are a quintessential part of the city and offer great views of the skyline. The Taylor-Southgate Bridge, Purple People Bridge, Roebling Suspension Bridge and the CW Bailey Bridge are all runner friendly. The Roebling Bridge is particularly special — a National Historic Landmark in 1975, it was engineered by its namesake, renowned civil engineer John A. Roebling, who also designed the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City.
