The elegant 1867 spanner was a forerunner of John Roebling's famous Brooklyn Bridge in New York. The Romanesque arches and draped cables have made it an Instagram star. It's cool to walk across while passing cars make it 'sing' around you (the sound as they drive over the grates). It links to Covington, KY.
