The official name is the Daniel Carter Beard Bridge, but Bridge Hunter indicates the popular name is the Big Mac Bridge. "Constructed started 1971; opened to limited traffic 1977; dedicated 1981; entire I-471 project completed 1985." The longest span is 757.6' [Bridge Hunter] When it takes almost a decade to build a bridge, I wonder what the cost overrun was.

| Bridges & Tunnels with Sherman Cahal posted I never tired of this view of the Daniel Carter Beard Bridge from the Mt. Adams neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio. The crossing carries Interstate 471 over the Ohio River between Cincinnati and Newport, Kentucky.
