The Discovery Bridge, formerly Broad Street Bridge, is a bridge in Columbus, Ohio, United States, spanning the Scioto River and connecting downtown to Franklinton. The bridge was named in reference to Christopher Columbus's "discovery" of the Americas; the bridge includes artistic bronze medallions featuring symbols of the explorer.
A wooden toll bridge was built in 1816, the first bridge to cross the Scioto River in Columbus. Subsequent bridges were built in 1834 and 1883. Multiple bridges at the site were demolished by Scioto River flooding, including during the Great Flood of 1913 in Columbus. A concrete arch bridge was constructed in 1921 and demolished in 1990, to be replaced with the current bridge.
