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.

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