Bridges are fascinating, aren't they? Works of art to enjoy while on a road trip. Marvels of engineering. Of course, unless we stop, we don't get to see much. Our lives would be very different if bridges didn't exist. Some bridges are for walking, some for driving. Some are for cars and trucks, others for trains. There are even bridges for boats. I could go on.
This may be in the vicinity of Wheeling, WV. Digitized B/W print, August 1986.
I haven't done enough sleuthing to determine where this bridge is, let alone its name. One candidate is the Fort Henry Bridge in Wheeling, which crosses the Ohio River there. We were driving either on I-70 or I-470 through southwestern Pennsylvania and northern West Virginia, based on where the photo is in the album.
I love the vintage photo. It looks like there was an oops on the median.
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, I do believe it is that bridge... I just did an image search for Fort Henry Bridge, and it's a match. I couldn't tell, from this view, looking quickly, that it is curved.
