shows
the
Zanesville
Y
bridge
during
a
flood
of the
Muskingum
and
Licking
rivers
in
August
1935
. The
bridge
was the
fourth
y-shaped
bridge
built
at the
same
location
. On
January
4
,
1902
,
it
was
opened
for
foot
passengers
.
Ten
days
later
,
streetcars
and
wagons
began
to
cross
the
bridge
. In
1979
, the
fourth
Y
bridge
was
judged
unsafe
. The
fifth
bridge
was
opened
on
November
9
,
1984
. In
1812
a
charter
was
granted
to
Moses
Dillon
and
others
to
construct
a
toll
bridge
that
spanned
the
confluence
of the
Muskingum
and
Licking
rivers
,
connecting
Zanesville
with
Natchez
and
West
Zanesville
. A
walled
,
oak-planked
bridge
with a
central
pier
where
the
forks
of a "
Y
"
met
was
opened
to the
public
in
1814
. A
makeshift
structure
, this
first
bridge
(1814-1818)
needed
constant
repair
and
collapsed
into the
river
in
1818
. A
second
bridge
(1819-1832)
was
built
on the
same
site
of
stronger
construction
, but
it
was
condemned
thirteen
years
later
when
twelve-inch-thick
ice
in the
river
weakened
the
superstructure
.
During
renovation
work
in
1832
, a
section
of the
bride
collapsed
,
killing
two
men
,
one
of
whom
was
Ebenezer
Buckingham
, an
owner
of the
bridge
. The
third
Y
bridge
(1832-1900)
stood
until
1900
.
