  • A pedestrian bridge that needs a new coat of purple paint. But besides that was cool and fun to walk across. Great views. Be warned it's a half mile across.

  • Great place to go for a walk, It great that they have this bridge here, it let me spend a little time in both cities and it was interesting seeing both cites and the Ohio River from this...

  • Great pedestrian bridge for walking, biking or running. They even allow you to rent it out for events. As a tourist you are able to stand in both Kentucky and Ohio at the same time. There's also a "locks of love section" about halfway down where you can leave your lock for all to see. Attaching anything to the bridge outside of this section is prohibited. There is riverfront parking between AMC & Hooters. The price is $5
  • RAD pedestrian only bridge that goes over the Ohio River and connects Cincinnati to Newport, KY. It's a great walk and you can get spectacular views of the river, the cities, all while getting some exercise in. And it's free!!! Highly recommend! 💜❤️💯
