The arches intended to be acquired will stretch from the west side of Guernsey Street to the bridge abutment at Hamilton Street. The remainder of the structure, about 23 more arches, remains in use by the Wheeling & Lake Erie as part of its crossing of the Ohio River between Bellaire and Benwood, W.Va.
The Western portion of the Great Stone Viaduct was purchased in July 2015 by the Great Stone Viaduct Historical Education Society, a non-profit 501-c3 educational organization. Fundraising is ongoing to maintain and preserve the structure and create a green space, bike and walking trail, and park area at this site.
