Contracts to build the Fort Henry Bridge were let to the American Bridge Company, a subsidiary of U.S. Steel, and Dravo Corporation of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.Costing $6.8 million, $1.8 million over budget, and taking four years to complete, the Fort Henry Bridge opened to traffic on September 8, 1955 after a ribbon-cutting ceremony with then-governor William C. Marland in front of a crowd of 55,000 to 60,000 people. The bridge earned an Honorable Mention in 1955 from the National Steel Bridge Alliance, a part of the American Institute of Steel Construction, which recognizes the best steel bridges of the year. At the time of construction, the bridge was only the second tied-arch bridge across the Ohio River. The bridge was originally named the Ninth Street Bridge, and was designed to relieve traffic on the National Road's Wheeling Suspension Bridge. The roadway as originally opened carried four lanes with a 4 ft (1.2 m) median between each direction.During the first years of the bridge it carried US 40 and US 250 from Wheeling Island over the Ohio River main channel. In 1957 plans to add an Interstate Highway designation to the bridge were formed, with the Interstate 70 designation added by 1966.The bridge underwent a renovation in 1990 which included replacement of its bridge deck. Currently Interstate 70 throughout the City of Wheeling will undergo a $214-million bridge rehabilitation project on 26 bridges including Fort Henry Bridge from the Ohio State line to Milepost 7 (Middle Creek Road area) until October 2022. #architecture #archbridge   #raw_bridges #onlyinohio #westvirginia #bridgehunter #citykillerz  #architecture_magazine #bridgesofinstagram #scenicphotography  #city_captures #bridge #ohioarchitecture #trussbridge #bridges_of_theworld #architecturephoto #bridgephotography #bridgesoftheworld #bridges_of_our_world #bridges_of_instagram (at Fort Henry Bridge) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLNr66rJUGs/?igshid=8i7pgha1ahnj

The development of the Y Bridge began in 1812, when the Ohio General Assembly granted a charter for the construction of a bridge to connect Zanesville with Putnam, Natchez and West Zanesville. These three towns would later become part of Zanesville. The first Y Bridge opened to traffic in 1814. The center pier was made of limestone, while the others were made of wood. The bridge was uncovered and all travelers had to pay a toll charge to cross, except churchgoers and people in funeral and military processions. The first bridge required constant repairs due to its frail construction, and in 1818 was carried off by a heavy flood. Construction began immediately, and the second Y Bridge opened in 1819. Like the first bridge, it was a wooden, uncovered toll bridge. This structure was declared unsafe after only 12 years due to heavy traffic from new roads leading to Zanesville. It became apparent that a more solid structure was necessary. The third Y Bridge, a covered wooden structure, lasted 68 years. Catherinus Buckingham designed it. His father, Ebenezer, supervised the building. During construction, a flood threatened the bridge supports. Ebenezer gave orders to remove the wedges that held these supports so that floodwaters would wash away the supports without taking the bridge. However, when the wedges were removed, the span fell into the river and Ebenezer Buckingham was killed. Catherinus took over the supervision and the bridge was completed in 1832. In 1868, the county commissioners bought the bridge and abolished the toll charge. For the first time, the Y Bridge was a toll free structure. This played a key role in the unification of Zanesville with Putnam, Natchez and West Zanesville. #architecture #zanesville  #raw_bridges #onlyinohio #ohiophotographer #bridgehunter #citykillerz  #architecture_magazine #bridgesofinstagram #scenicphotography  #city_captures #bridge #ohioarchitecture #ybridge #bridges_of_theworld #architecturephoto #bridgephotography #bridgesoftheworld #bridges_of_our_world #bridges_of_instagram (at Y-Bridge) https://www.instagram.com/p/CK7nLMTj39l/?igshid=1d4fce9ozi2g9
