The Jeremiah Morrow Bridge is a pair of parallel continuous truss bridges which span the Little Miami River gorge between Fort Ancient and Oregonia, Ohio. The bridges are named for Governor Jeremiah Morrow.
The deck truss bridge uses a modified Warren truss design and is continuous across five spans. The bridges carry Interstate 71 and are 239 feet (73 m) above the river, making them the tallest bridges in Ohio. Additionally, the bridges are approximately 2300 ft (700m) in length, making them two of the longest interstate bridges in the state. Each bridge carries two lanes of traffic.
A project to replace both spans is underway, as these bridges are approximately the same design and age as the I-35W Mississippi River bridge which collapsed in 2007.
