Do you know what the tallest bridge in Ohio is? Most people don’t. Completed in 2016, the Jeremiah Morrow Bridge connects the Fort Ancient earthworks complex to the small town of Oregonia, Ohio. Although it’s an interstate bridge that’s not particularly unique in appearance, its massive size makes it stand out from all the other impressive bridges in the state.

Named after former Governor of Ohio Jeremiah Morrow, this massive pair of concrete box girder bridges carries Interstate 71 over the Little Miami River gorge.
