The Rich Street Bridge is a bridge in Columbus, Ohio, United States, spanning the Scioto River and connecting downtown's Rich Street to Franklinton's Town Street. It carries U.S. Route 62 (US 62) and Ohio State Route 3 (SR 3). The bridge was completed in 2012.[1]
The bridge replaced the Town Street Bridge (1917-2009). The original eastern anchor remains, reutilized as the Prow, an observation platform in the Scioto Mile Promenade park.[2] The site features stone benches, lanterns, and a grove of birch trees.[3]
