Famous Y Bridge from the Air, Zanesville, Ohio
Here’s a postcard that Kay Anthony received in 1947 as part of a swap. Mildred Wickham of Cumberland, Ohio, wrote the card on July 10, 1947, but didn’t mail it until four days later. Mildred writes:
“Dear Pal: Thanks for lovely v. card of last mo. It wasn’t stamped at all in P.O. It’s raining this eve. I took ill last eve stomach spell, sore mouth. It’s due to a lack of vitamon (sic) B. Because my system won’t absorb it properly. I take lots of them. Jesus is precious to me & He never fails, Bless His sweet name.”
This is a Curteich “C. T. Art Colortone” postcard, number 6B-H224, manufactured in 1946 and distributed by the Black and Grant Company of Zanesville.

I can certainly see why it’s famous! It makes me want to sing YMCA!
Ohio is a funny state.. they even have a town called Napoleon which I want to go too:)
I’ve never been to the USA but if I visit one day Ohio I’d like to see that very interesting Y bridge. Does it still exist?
It does indeed!

Midland, Michigan has a Y pedestrian bridge. It is called the Tridge.
Marie: They used to build Napoleon cars in my town.
Wonder how many cars have overshot that intersection? Very interesting card and message – reminds me ..I haven’t taken my pills yet this morning…..
I never knew a y bridge existed. A fascinating postcard.
That’s an impressive bridge ! All the precisions you gave are very interesting. A curiosity, no doubt.
Thanks to share.
You are an amazing guy Chris! I see that you’ve been solving Finnish mysteries too!
It’s incredible, a bridge that is divided into two, in 20th century.
It’s a very fabulous building, I never seen that before.
Thank you and happy PFF.
Interesting bridge! I didn’t know such a Y-bridge exists. Back here in Asia, we are used to the regular bridge. I can only imagine the traffic here in Phnom Penh if a Y-bridge is built here *lol*
Have a great weekend!
what a view, indeed! interesting bridge!
What an amazing bridge! I’ve never seen anything like that before. With the two rivers there, it must save quite a detour if they had only straightforward bridges. Or multiple bridges.
