The Jeremiah Morrow Bridge is the name for a pair of concrete box girder bridges built between 2010 and 2016[1] which carries Interstate 71 over the Little Miami River gorge between Fort Ancient and Oregonia, Ohio. The bridges are named for former Governor of Ohio Jeremiah Morrow.[2] It is the tallest bridge in Ohio.
The bridges are 239 feet (73 m) above the river, making them the highest bridges in Ohio,[3] and are Script error: No such module "convert". long, Script error: No such module "convert". wide, with Script error: No such module "convert". main spans.[4] The bridges each have two marked lanes with room for a third lane.[1]
The original Warren truss bridges[5] at the same location were opened to traffic in 1965[6] and were continuous across five spans.[7] Both of the original spans were replaced beginning in 2010, with the completion of construction work marked with an official ribbon cutting ceremony held on November 18, 2016.[1][6]
The original bridges were approximately the same design and age as the I-35W Mississippi River bridge which collapsed in 2007.[5] Demolition of the original southbound bridge was largely completed on April 23, 2017.[8] The original northbound bridge had been demolished in 2014 after one of the new bridges was complete.[9]
