Previous article, "Glover Cary Bridge," moved to "Owensboro Bridge" edit

The official name of this bridge is the "Owensboro Bridge" — not the "Glover Cary Bridge," as the previous title of the article indicated.

The Owensboro entrance to the bridge features a "stack" of three plaques that were placed on the bridge when it opened in 1940. The smallest of these plaques, on the bottom of the stack, notes that the bridge was "Dedicated to the Memory of Glover H. Cary." But the bridge was never named for Cary. The topmost plaque makes it clear that the name of the bridge is the "Owensboro Bridge." A photograph of the plaques can viewed at https://bridgehunter.com/photos/11/44/114470-L.jpg.
