Fort Steuben Bridge, Suspension bridge between Steubenville, Ohio and Weirton, West Virginia, United States.
The Fort Steuben Bridge featured three spans across the Ohio River, with a main span of 209 meters and two side spans of 86 meters each.
Constructed in 1928 by the Dravo Contracting Company of Pittsburgh, the bridge operated as a toll crossing until 1947 when Ohio state acquired its ownership.
The bridge served as a critical connection point for industrial workers commuting between Ohio and West Virginia during the mid-twentieth century steel production era.
After structural deterioration led to its closure in 2009, the bridge underwent controlled demolition in February 2012 using 153 pounds of explosives across 136 locations.
The bridge deck measured 20.25 feet wide, accommodating two lanes of traffic and maintained its position as a regional transportation link for 81 years.
