I've been admiring this bridge near our vets office for some time and decided to stop to grab a few quick pictures.The bridge is right beside route 166 near the bridge that crosses the Cheat River into Point Marion.Initially,I thought this was a railroad bridge,but upon closer inspection,it looks a bit small for that.It may have been used for mine cars but I'm not sure.I'm gonna ask Art,my Pt.marion expert if he knows.Meanwhile,enjoy the pics.Evan,Danielle and I are planning alot of cool expiditions soon,so stay tuned!As always,comment/email us if you have any more information on this or other posts.
Perhaps it was used to bring the clay across the river for pottery making.
