Bellaire toll bridge

Long closed and decaying Bellaire toll bridge sits waiting for traffic that will never come. Currently, it is making news in the local area about demolition, which the Army Corps of Engineers have been trying to get done for the past 10 years. The owner of the bridge bought it for $1 dollar. Pretty cheap but considering paying for the demo, not so cheap.

Now you may ask, why dont they repair it and open it to traffic. Ahh, that is another story! West Virginia DOT built ramps to their side of the bridge but when Ohio made Route 7 four lanes, they severed their side of the bridge. Making the bridge a useless crossing over the Ohio River.
