The John A. Roebling Suspension Bridge, connecting Cincinnati, Ohio, to Covington, Kentucky, is an iconic architectural feat completed in 1867. At the time of its completion, it was the world's longest suspension bridge with a main span of 1,057 feet. Designed by the German-born civil engineer John A. Roebling, who later became renowned for his work on the Brooklyn Bridge, this structure was a pioneering use of wrought iron cables and a critical advancement in bridge engineering.
