Historic Bellaire Bridge — Attraction in Benwood

The Bellaire Bridge has been out of service since the early 1990s. Prior to that, it operated as a toll bridge connecting Benwood, WVa and Bellaire, OH. The bridge has been a focal point of debate for the last 20 years and during that time the bridge has seriously decayed.
