The Ravine Bluffs Development Bridge, also known as the Sylvan Road Bridge, was a bridge designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and located at the northeastern entrance of the Development. It crosses over the ravine from which the project gets its name. In the 1980s, the bridge was rebuilt. It is one of only 2 bridges designed by Wright to be built. The other bridge is a residential bridge that spans Bear Run to access the residence known as Fallingwater. See also
