The Cairo Ohio River Bridge (visit link) is the last bridge over the Ohio River just northwest of its confluence with the Mississippi River. Cairo, Illinois and Wickliffe, Kentucky are on either side of the bridge.

Of course, any pictures on the bridge have to be taken 'on the fly' and on the Kentucky side, the shoulders on this busy two-lane are very narrow, so parking is not recommended.
