Elm Grove Stone Arch Bridge
Elm Grove Stone Arch Bridge, Stone road bridge in Elm Grove, West Virginia.
The three-span limestone bridge stretches 208 feet over Little Wheeling Creek with a central arch of 38 feet and two side arches of 25 feet each.
Moses Shepherd constructed this bridge in 1817 as part of the National Road project, making it the oldest surviving bridge in West Virginia.
The bridge earned its Monument Place name from a memorial erected by Moses Shepherd in 1820 to honor House Speaker Henry Clay near the structure.
The structure carries U.S. Route 40 traffic and received reinforcement with gunite spray in 1953 to maintain its structural integrity for modern use.
The bridge design includes elliptical arches that create a pronounced elevation in the middle, resulting in a distinctive profile across Little Wheeling Creek.
