Southwest Face
The bridge carries US 30, also known as The Lincoln Highway. This photo was taken from what's left of the eastern portal of the bridge this one replaced.
The bridge is oriented on a southeast to northwest direction, between Chester, WV and East Liverpool, Ohio.

The WHAAAA??????
Thanks for the update! The previous color reminded me of zinc chromate primer and looked like it hadn't been finished. Gray? That'll really make it stand out to pilots against the gray backgound of the river and shore on hazy days, like the day I was last there.
I am a resident of the community served by this bridge. I thought that you may want to know that the entire bridge was repainted to a "battleship gray" color during the summer of 2009. The deck was rehabilitated in the summer of 2008.
Yeah, I don't get it either...
