Fun Fact: The “Y” Bridge in Zanesville, Ohio, was proclaimed by “Ripley’s Believe It or Not” as the only bridge in the world that you can cross and still be on the same side of the river. And it’s the only bridge in the country with three ends. First built in 1814 to span the confluence of the Licking and Muskingum rivers, the structure has had several iterations that were washed away by serious floods before the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers constructed a series of dams and locks that now regulate the flow of the two rivers. The current concrete and steel bridge is the fifth built on the same location. It opened in 1984. The bridge is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
