History
The Baileysville Bridge is an open-spandrel arch structure built in 1917 by the Concrete Steel Bridge Company of Clarksburg, West Virginia. 1 It has a length of about 227 feet and consists of two open spandrel concrete arch main spans, along with four reinforced concrete slab spans. The roadway deck has a width of 13 feet and is fitted with reinforced concrete curbs and balustrade parapets.
In 1987, the 1917 structure was bypassed by a continuous steel plate girder structure built 30 feet upstream. 1
