Ohio is a criminally underrated state with some of the most fascinating architectural marvels in the country. Not only was the John A. Roebling Bridge the inspiration for the famous Brooklyn Bridge, but there is a record-breaking bridge hiding in Ohio, too. The Dublin Link is the longest span, single-tower S-shaped suspension bridge in the world, and it's an attraction that belongs on your Ohio bucket list.
Dublin is an impossibly charming town in Central Ohio of just under 50,000 that's known for its scenic parks and Old World charm.

Dublin is located just 15 minutes from Columbus, but manages to feel like a small town -- albeit, one that's home to a pretty big superlative.

This is The Dublin Link, the longest single tower “S” shaped suspension bridge in the world.

The bridge -- or "The Link" as it's affectionally called -- stretches 760 feet from end to end, spanning the Scioto River. The deck passes through the “keyhole” of the main tower, which is 169 feet tall.

Since its unveiling in 2020, The Link has become a beloved and inextricable part of the town's -- and Ohio's -- identity.

The Link connects Historic Dublin to Bridge Park making Downtown Dublin a vibrant, walkable destination for locals and visitors alike. It glows in honor of holidays or to raise awareness of various causes, providing a large Bat Signal of sorts that welcomes all to this lovely town.

While this bridge may hold a world record, it's as accessible and welcoming as the Buckeye State herself.

This beguiling and beautiful bridge is a literal metaphor of community and connectivity. It's Ohio in a nutshell; as ours is a state of Midwestern sensibility and small-town heart.
