Black and white photo image of the U. S. Grant Bridge. The bridge was opened in August of 1927 and was the first bridge to make it all the way across the Ohio River to reach Kentucky from Portsmouth, Ohio, thus connecting the two states. Also known as the Fullerton Bridge, the bridge was only opened to walking traffic at first, but it did allow cars to pass over it in September of 1927. It opened as a toll bridge, became toll free in 1974, and was razed in 2001. The new U. S. Grant Bridge would replace this one in 2006.
