Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:
This modern marvel was built in 1849 as the largest suspension bridge in the world at the time. The bridge connects the mainland at Wheeling, WV to Wheeling Island, just west, spanning over 1,000 feet across the mighty Ohio River. The Wheeling Suspension Bridge is so old that there are restrictions for how heavy a vehicle can be to cross it, as well as the proper separation between cars so that one spot does not carry too much weight. If visitors are looking for more history on the bridge, it can be found at the local historical society and museums in Wheeling, WV.
