About the Purple People Bridge
Originally built in 1872, the 2,670-foot bridge underwent a $4 million renovation in 2003 and re-opened as one of the country's longest, pedestrian-only walkways connecting two cities in two states - Newport, KY, and Cincinnati, OH. Its unique moniker comes from the fact that the bridge is painted a very distinct shade of purple making it easily recognizable. The bridge is owned by Southbank Partners, a non-profit group promoting economic development in Northern Kentucky's river cities.
