Significance: At the time of its completion in 1866, the Cincinnati Suspension Bridge was the longest suspension span in the world. Although it had taken over ten years to complete (actual completion of all details was not accomplished until l1867) the work was achieved with a noticeable lack of injury or death to hose workmen involved with the project. This was the first bridge over the Ohio River at Cincinnati.
