US-40 Overview

Bridges & Tunnels by Sherman Cahal posted six photos with the comment:

Belmont County, Ohio, has restored two National Road arch bridges in recent years.

One is the 1825 stone arch bridge over Barkcamp Creek, which carried U.S. Route 40 until it was bypassed in 1940 and restored in 2015. The other, which crosses a branch of Wheeling Creek in Lloydsville, was restored that same year.

Bridges & Tunnels by Sherman Cahal: In the York Rite, it is called the "Mark Master." Each quarry worker had a unique symbol that they signed their work with to receive their wages. A lodge of Mark Masters has a ledger containing each member's "mark," chosen when they were initiated into the Mark Master degree.
