Never been a fan of that bridge. As a kid and an adult I'm always scared crossing it. Even scarier was when they were working on it, late 70's or early 80's, it was down to one lane. There were open areas on the closed lane that as a kid I was so worried about the car falling into the Ohio river. Thanks for the video!
this bridge is crazy. when i moved from cali to ky i arrived at the double bridge crossing at 3 am and it has no lights on it and the smells and everything just made me think i was in some kind of horror movie lol. but it was also cool at the same time.
You would think that by now that US Route 60-62 corridor would become a high priority for major infrastructure investment. That bridge is beyond its service life and is obsolete. A new modern four lane bridge with protected bike lanes and sidewalks on both sides is sorely needed. Ditto for the other narrow aging bridge over the Mississippi from Illinois into Missouri. Both bridges are obsolete and need to be demolished and replaced.

I hated that bridge
The bridge just to the west ( over the Mississippi) has been found structural unsound and has been closed this one may not be far behind
That's sad news! I live by Pittsburgh PA now I visited home when I recorded this. Gonna miss these old junky bridges!
@@MrBigChris620 I recently heard the bridge is scheduled to reopen around the end of this year
