Ohio River I24 Bridge, Paducah, KY 42001, US

The Irvin S. Cobb Bridge, also known as the Brookport Bridge, is a historic ten-span steel truss bridge that spans the Ohio River, connecting Paducah, Kentucky, to Brookport, Illinois. Named after author and journalist Irvin S. Cobb, the bridge was originally a toll bridge before being purchased by the state of Kentucky. With narrow lanes and a steel grate deck, the Irvin S. Cobb Bridge is known for its challenging crossing conditions, restricting vehicles to less than 8 feet in width and 9 feet 6 inches in height. Despite its limitations, the bridge remains an important link between the two states, offering a unique and memorable crossing experience for travelers in the region.Generated from the website
