The Blennerhassett Island Bridge was built in 2008 to help bypass US-50 traffic around Parkersburg, WV. It is a
network arch bridge. The crossing of the hangers in a network arch bridge makes the span act more like a truss than a tied arch.
You can tell this bridge is not in the Chicago area. I would never have all three lanes to myself in the daylight.
