Spanning the deep limestone gorges carved over eons by the winding Kentucky River, the bridges that traverse these palisades are feats of both human ingenuity and audacious spirit. Erected during an era where the expansion of the railroads and roadways vied with the natural world, these structures stand as a testament to the Gilded Age’s industrial prowess and the Good Roads Movement.
During a week in the early fall, I traveled extensively across the Bluegrass region to photograph some of the most distinguished bridges over the Kentucky River. My journey included visits to Camp Nelson Bridge, High Bridge, Young’s High Bridge, and the Tyrone Bridge.
