This is one span of a new bridge that recently opened across the Ohio River between Ohio and West Virginia. In this particular spot the Ohio river splits and goes around historic Blennerhassett Island. The bridge accommodates six lanes of traffic.
I took these shots late evening and just before sunset began. You can see the glint of the sun at the top of the bridge arch. The arch is currently the longest span structure of this type in the world.

ReplyDeleteA bridge six-lanes wide is a big bridge. I didn't know so much traffic flowed between the two states. Is the bridge connecting two cities?
