The Cairo Ohio River Bridge (
visit link) is the last bridge over the Ohio River just northwest of its confluence with the Mississippi River. Cairo, Illinois and Wickliffe, Kentucky are on either side of the bridge.
Of course, any pictures on the bridge have to be taken 'on the fly' and on the Kentucky side, the shoulders on this busy two-lane are very narrow, so parking is not recommended.
Visit Instructions:-Your own picture of the signs or area. Discussing why it is you are crossing this border gets you bonus points.
-No one likes to read ‘TFTW’ and other unimaginitive visit logs.
-Armchair finds can be deleted by the owner or management group.
