Southern West Virginia Online posted four photos with the comment:
The Kanawha Falls Bridge has now been closed for nearly eight years…
The bridge was shut down in November 2018 after a structural failure caused part of the bridge deck to drop about five inches. Inspections later uncovered additional deterioration and structural concerns. 
Today, the nearly century-old bridge across the Kanawha River remains closed to traffic.

"It appears the substructure may be shifting as one of the decks is higher on one span than the other." [HistoricBridges]
