The Dublin Link is a pedestrian and bicycle bridge over the Scioto River in Dublin, Ohio. The bridge is the only single-tower S-shaped suspension bridge in the world.[1] The bridge connects Dublin's historic district and downtown on the west bank with the Bridge Street District partially complete, on the east bank.[2]

The bridge was originally proposed in 1986, and re-proposed in 2007. After planning, studies, and design efforts, construction began in 2017. The bridge was completed and opened on 17 March 2020, after a planned ceremony on March 13 was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[3]
