Passing through Zanesville, you should carve out 15/20 minutes to check this out. This time around, I planned to pick up lunch to go and picnic at Putnam Park. As the story goes, the roads were closed to the park, but we found the same pull off we pulled into years ago and told our Y Bridge ghost stories from there. Be ready to get your picture of the signage at the traffic light at the Y split!!

It's basically just a bridge. It's supposed to be the focal point of Zanesville but the surroundings are industrial and not very scenic. If you are heading West on Rt 40 across the bridge you will end up in a very run-down area where you roll 'em up and hit the door lock button. If you are heading West and turn right, make sure your vehicle is able to go under the notorious low-clearance railroad bridge where almost once a week someone bashes into it with a truck or camper after blindly following their GPS.

We drove across it twice and went to the Putnam Park scenic outlook to view it from ahigh. Muskingum road is closed so to access the park you must take Main Street to Pine St. So basically you have to cross the Y Bridge to view it from the park. It was fun and just one of those corny things I like to do when I am in the area.

We crossed this bridge on the way to our destination. Interesting bridge for sure; stoplight at the “Y” . We also ventured to the overlook to get a few pictures - that was a little more difficult to find. Putnam Hill Park is what you need to search for. Overlook Dr will take you to a residential neighborhood lol.

It's worth a look. I think it's worth getting off I-70 and taking the business route over the Y-Bridge. It was built in 1902 over the convergence of the Licking and Muskingum rivers joining three separate areas of Zanesville. If you have the time, it's worth another detour to Putnam Hill Park to look at the bridge and town from the overlook. The bridge is a bright spot in the town that has been left behind by progress but is struggling to still be relevant.

Thank you - it is certainly a must see - the Y Bridge is part of the National Road and a cool stop. The overview is a great place to see all the churches, the courthouse and historic buildings. There is a great Y Bridge Arts Festival that takes place every year - the first weekend in August. If you are coming back through the area make sure to attend - great art, music and food - it takes place in Zane's Landing Park - right next to the Y Bridge - it is also the park where the Lorena Sternwheeler is located - you might want to check that out too! Again, thank you for traveling the Bridge and for recommending it as worth the look. Have a great day!

If you're a fan of architecture check it out. I mean what other bridge lets you drive to the center turn and then get off on the same side of the river? Interesting just as a drive through, or there's a nice small park area to stop for a picnic if you're driving a long way with the family

The best view (when there is no fog) is from a park high up on the rivers edge, called Putnam View Park, off Grandview Ave.

I believe that there are only three Y-shaped bridges in the world. I've visited the bridge a number of times. There's a lot of history about it, and there's a great viewing area at Putnam Hill Park. It's an icon of Zanesville.

We've heard about the Y-Bridge in Zanesville from a former resident for a long time. So when passing by Zanesville, of course, we had to stop to see it. Crossed over in all three directions just for the fun of it. Boy, doesn't take much to make us happy, does it? But then, you don't see a Y-bridge everyday, do you? Stop by, drive over, and learn something about engineering. The people of Zanesville are mighty proud of it.

This bridge is actually really cool to see, but town is a little deserted, so it feels a bit weird to walk out to it. There is a parking lot right next to the bridge we found after, but make sure to drive by the courthouse, it is beautiful. The bridge is really viewed best from above, where there is an overlook park, but the park was a bit sketchy. I would still go- but go in the middle of the day. Great views of city as well.

Thank you for traveling and viewing the Y Bridge. The view from the overlook is fantastic - we recommend that to those that stop in the Welcome Center for sure. It is a great place to see the churches, courthouse and other historic buildings in the downtown area. If you are through this way again - stop on a First Friday and enjoy the First Friday Artwalk - the art galleries are all open, the antique stores stay open later in the evening and there is great music as well. Another great option is the Lorena Sternwheeler - it is a must see and do as well. Again, thank you for traveling the Y Bridge - we also are home to an S Bridge that is located on route 40.
