John A Roebling (1806-1869), pioneer civil engineer, was the designer and builder of the Covington-Cincinnati Suspension Bridge which was completed in 1866. It served as the prototype for Roebling's design of the Brooklyn Bridge, which was complete in 1882 under the direction of his son, Washington A. Roebling, chief engineer. On June 27, 1982, the Commonwealth of Kentucky officially renamed the Covington-Cincinnati Suspension Bridge in honor of the designer and builder.
