The Enquirer's  Just Askin' series  aims to answer the questions that no one seems to have an answer for, not even Google . To the more than 9,000 commuters who cross the historic John A. Roebling Suspension Bridge either into Covington or Cincinnati's Downtown on a given day, the towering brick arches and swooping suspension cables are familiar. Also familiar is the bridge's iconic color. Question: Has the Roebling Suspension Bridge always been blue? Answer: No. The bridge has been painted many colors in its 156-year history, according to the Covington-Cincinnati Suspension Bridge Committee.
