A group met this week to discuss the future of the bridge. Adam and I crossed it a couple of years ago when we were up that way last. A few observations"
1. West Virginians love the color combination of blue and gold, but come on.
2. The combination of a basic suspension bridge with the addition of a Warren through truss makes this one odd-looking bridge.
3. Does anyone like driving over a steel grid roadway? It's better than no bridge at all, I guess. I remember the first time I drove a car with wide tires over a grid bridge deck. The first thirty feet or so, that car drifted like it was on an ice road until I figured out what was going on.

There used to be a nearly identical bridge between East Liverpool and Chester, which carried US30. That bridge was closed and demolished in the very early 70s.
