The Ironton–Russell Bridge can refer to either one of two bridges that carry/carried traffic along the Ohio River between Ironton, Ohio and Russell, Kentucky in the United States. The original blue cantilever Ironton–Russell Bridge, opened in 1922 and closed in 2016, carried two lanes of traffic and a narrow sidewalk. The new white cable-stayed bridge, officially named the Oakley C. Collins Memorial Bridge, has two lanes of traffic without a dedicated sidewalk and opened on November 23, 2016.
