Bridges
Wheeling Island is connected to downtown Wheeling via the Fort Henry Bridge, which carries Interstate 70, the National Road (U.S. Route 40), and U.S. Route 250, and the Wheeling Suspension Bridge.
Two additional bridges cross the back channel of the Ohio River to connect the island to Bridgeport, one for Interstate 70, and a second for US 250 and US 40.

Famous quotes containing the word bridges:
“As night is withdrawn
From these sweet-springing meads and bursting boughs of May,
Dream, while the innumerable choir of day
Welcome the dawn.”

“On such a night, when Air has loosed
Its guardian grasp on blood and brain,
Old terrors then of god or ghost
Creep from their caves to life again;”

“... this single span,
Reaching for the world, as our lives do,
As all lives do, reaching that we may give
The best of what we are and hold as true:
Always it is by bridges that we live.”
