Newell Toll Bridge, Road and toll bridge between Newell, West Virginia and East Liverpool, Ohio, United States.
Description
The Newell Toll Bridge is a road and toll bridge that crosses the Ohio River between Newell, West Virginia and East Liverpool, Ohio. The structure features two vehicle lanes and a pedestrian walkway positioned on the western side.
History
The bridge opened in 1905 as the first suspension bridge built entirely from steel. This innovation set new standards for bridge construction and replaced earlier material approaches.
Culture
The bridge construction connected the Homer Laughlin China Company operations between East Liverpool and their new manufacturing facilities in West Virginia.
Practical
Crossing is straightforward since the pedestrian path is well-defined and clearly separated from traffic. Visitors should expect moderate noise from vehicles and dress appropriately for changing weather conditions.
Did you know?
The bridge was renamed in 2023 to honor Wayne Six, a longtime caretaker who maintained the structure throughout his years of service. This naming recognizes the contribution of those who work behind the scenes ensuring safety and operation.
