The Daniel Carter Beard Bridge, colloquially known as the Big Mac Bridge, is a striking yellow twin span steel bowstring arch bridge that spans the Ohio River, connecting Cincinnati, Ohio, and Newport, Kentucky. Named after Daniel Carter Beard, a prominent figure in the Boy Scouts of America, this iconic bridge features a main span of 750 feet and a total span of 2,100 feet.
Originally designed by Hazelet Erdal, now URS Corporation, the Daniel Carter Beard Bridge underwent reconstruction in 2000 to accommodate four lanes on each span, enhancing its functionality for the daily traffic of 97,900 vehicles. With its unique design and historical significance, this bridge serves as a vital link between the two states, embodying both practicality and local charm.
