This is a wonderful bridge in a very scenic setting. The roads leading here are rough and steep. Some of the vertical chords have been recently replaced, so they must not be planning to replace it anytime soon. Its the only crossing of the Cheat River between Albright and Ice's Ferry Bridge, a distance of 17 miles. Its a long way down to the water and that flimsy guardrail is barely 3 feet high!
