1969 Silver Memorial Bridge over Ohio River at Point Pleasant, WV

(Bridge Hunter; Satellite)

Given the built date of 1969, this bridge was built in less than two years to replace the Silver Bridge after it collapsed on Dec 15, 1967.

Neal Reynolds: 1969 or later. US 35 4-lane hasn't been connected yet so I am guessing this is right after it opened.

It is always nice to see a truss bridge with a fresh coat of paint.

Note the fleeting area along the Ohio shore.

There are several dry docks in the fleeting area.
