The [[Simon Kenton Memorial Bridge]] is a [[suspension bridge]] built in 1931 crossing the Ohio River and originally opened with a toll. Those tolls were removed in 1945 to much fanfare - including celebrations from the local Rotary and Lions club, and a parade in downtown Maysville. Its main span is {{convert|323|m|ft|abbr=off|sp=us}} long, and the total length of the bridge is {{convert|607|m|ft|abbr=off|sp=us}}. It connects Maysville with [[Aberdeen, Ohio]]. It is currently in use and is not slated for demolition, as the bridge was closed for refurbishment in 2001 after the [[William H. Harsha Bridge]] was completed.

The Simon Kenton Suspension Bridge opened to traffic at 10:30 AM on November 25, 1931, at a cost of $1.6 million (~${{Format price|{{Inflation|index=US-GDP|value=1600000|start_year=1931}}}} in {{Inflation/year|US-GDP}}).<ref>Reis, Jim.
