Purple People Bridge

Love crossing this bridge.What an easy access from each die of the river. Great spot to take some good pictures.

Awesome old car bridge turned into a pedestrian walkway over the Ohio river. The bridge connects Newport, Kentucky to Cincinnati, Ohio.The bridge is about 2,670 feet (.5 mile) long. We took our time but would estimate that it took us about 15 mins to walk across one way.If you are in the area and get a chance it's pretty cool to walk across and there are some great views.Learn more at https://purplepeoplebridge.com

Great accessible bridge. Really fun to be able to stand "two places at once" at the Ohio/Kentucky border. Bridge is fun to walk and look over and see all the boats and activity on land. Great chill afternoon activity with kids or just to get some gentle exercise. The purple part is also awesome. Loved going across and back.

What a fun way to observe and experience the Ohio River. We saw lots of walkers and runners while enjoying our stroll and spent time enjoying the history lesson on plaques on the Ohio side. The walk is not too long and there is plenty of room for everyone to walk and run at a different pace without getting in each other's way. We took lots of pictures along the way and enjoyed the experience although I would have expected more of the bridge to be painted purple!

Fun find on the river. Very clean and safe walking bridge with a fun photo opt where the Ohio and Kentucky boarders are over the Ohio River. Good for all ages. Cheap parking beside the Ohio side entrance. Lots of "learning " opportunities about the history of the bridge. Nice park just beside it.

If you're trying to decide which of the pedestrian bridges to visit, I'll say both. But if you ask me which one should you not miss, I'll say this one.

Fun having access to a people only bridge. Great view of Cincinnati. Discovered by chance & we were glad we did.

For Earth Day I walked from Kentucky to Ohio and back on this bridge. I am so very happy the got it reopened after last years closure. It's a lovely walk into downtown Cincinnati!

Newport gets 5 stars but come on Cincinnati you can do better!!!!! We walked a long way in extreme heat to cross the Purple People Bridge to go to Newport on the Levee. Let me tell you it was so hot and just when we were getting close to the gate side after walking so far and way up the ramp we saw the gate was padlocked!!!!! Not a great way to support tourist foot traffic. What is the deal? We talked to a security guard through the gate. He was on the unlocked Newport side and told us he could not open the gate because it was locked by Cincinnati. This makes no sense whatsoever. We had to walk back down and now get a Lyft because there was no way we could have gone to the other vehicle bridge and taken the sidewalk across the river. Way to go Newport for having your side open but shame on you Cincinnati. What a disappointment.

Purple bridge purple bridge did you know that it's a purple bridge?The purple bridge connects two different cites in two different states it's a bridge for you to walk from one city in one state to another city in another state the bridge itself is super awesome not only because of it's purple color but because of the way the layout is super fun to look at super beautiful at night and totally one of the best views of the river and city you can get anywhere!Purple is my favorite color so once I found out there was a purple bridge I just had to come here for that reason alone it was awesome but the walk between the two states was just icing on a purple cake!Overall it's just a bridge but it sure was a fun walk back and forth if your in the area and looking for something mellow to do then this is totally it as you can't go wrong walking between two states on a purple bridge!
