Bridge Float Will Be Fun to Watch
Apr 22, 2021
It’s not often these days that something comes along that catches the collective interest but such a happening is set to take place Monday and Tuesday on the Ohio River near Wellsburg.
Depending on the weather and river conditions, starting Monday workers with the Flatiron Corp. of Broomfield, Colorado, and supervisors with the West Virginia Department of Transportation will float the 830-foot-long main span of a new, $131 million bridge linking an area just south of Wellsburg to Brilliant, Ohio, from its staging area near Wellsburg. The float is about a mile and will allow the main span to be linked to already constructed piers in the river.
