Roebling Bridge painting

A few random pictures from a recent walk I took across the bridge. The new paint is a definite improvement.

John A. Roebling Bridge repair update

With the recent closure of the Roebling Bridge repairs have kicked into high gear. Within minutes of them closing the bridge workers were swarming and beginning work. As promised, here are some photos of the recent changes. These were taken a week or so ago - I'll work on getting some newer ones soon.

Once we move I plan on walking over the bridge daily so photo updates will become more frequent, and probably a lot more interesting.

John A. Roebling Bridge repair

I think the John A. Roebling Bridge is probably one of the most important landmarks in Cincinnati, and there's definitely not another bridge that is more iconic in terms of our local history than this bridge.

I'm lucky enough that my office in Covington actually sits next to this bridge and I get to look out over it on a daily basis. This killer view has gotten a LOT more interesting in the past few weeks as workers have begun preparing the bridge for a much needed cleaning and coat of paint. I took the camera and went wandering around early last week and snapped a few pictures. I plan on taking more pictures as work progresses.

The bridge will officially close on April 7th and will not re-open until sometime in November of this year, however they plan on keeping one sidewalk open for pedestrians, which is good because I plan on walking or biking to work once we move to OTR.
