Simon Kenton Bridge Closed for Second Year of Repairs
On April 1, the Simon Kenton suspension bridge over the Ohio River at Maysville closed to traffic. This is part of the second year of a two-year project to refurbish the bridge. The bridge will reopen later this year. Travelers should use the new William H. Harsha Bridge a few miles downstream from the Kenton Bridge.
Original construction of the bridge took only one year. It opened to traffic in 1931.
