- The Wheeling Suspension Bridge is a suspension bridge spanning the main channel of the Ohio River at Wheeling, West Virginia. It was the largest suspension bridge in the world from 1849 until the Queenston-Lewiston Bridge was opened in 1851. It was designed by Charles Ellet Jr. , who also worked on the Niagara Falls Suspension Bridge. The Wheeling bridge was the first to span the Ohio River, and was an important link on the National Road. The main span is 1,010 feet (310 m) from tower to tower. The east tower rests on the Wheeling shore, while the west tower is on Zane's Island. The east tower is 153.5 feet (46.8 m) above the low-water level of the river, or 82 feet (25 m) from the base of the masonry. The west tower is 132.75 feet (40.46 m) above low water, with 69 feet (21 m) of masonry. The Wheeling Suspension Bridge was designated a National Historic Landmark on May 15, 1975.
- Die Wheeling Suspension Bridge ist eine Hängebrücke, die den Ohio River in Wheeling, West Virginia überspannt. Zwischen 1849 und der Eröffnung der Queenston-Lewiston Bridge im Jahr 1851 war die Brücke die längste Hängebrücke der Welt. Sie wurde von Charles Ellet Jr. erbaut. 1854 stürzte die Fahrbahn der Brücke in Folge eines schweren Sturmes ein, so dass Ellet gezwungen war, sie zu reparieren. Obwohl die Brücke seit dieser Zeit verschiedene Male repariert werden musste, ist sie auch heute noch in Gebrauch. Die Brücke überspannt eine Distanz von 308m (1010 Fuß) über den Ohio River, so dass Boote unter ihr passieren können. Heute ist die Brücke die älteste Hängebrücke für Fahrzeuge, die noch immer genutzt wird.
