Hey thanks for the info! I actually only live a few miles away, so I will definitely have to stop by and see the results!

I own a mill. Does that make me a millionaire? ; )
Thanks for your always instructive videos about history and tech. This bridge is particularly interesting for it shows the ingenuity of the original steampunk engineers.

[@Realunitedstates]

LOL! That does make you a millionaire! I love it! Glad you liked this one, and I agree that it does have a steampunk feel about it. :-)

Paul, if you're into bridges, Pittsburgh, PA has over 450 of them. Not sure why or how I know that. :)

[@Realunitedstates]

Matt, I will admit that is a pretty esoteric piece of information, but I love! I do have aspirations of filming in Pittsburg, PA and Wheeling, WV sometime this year. Should be a blast! Thanks!! Paul

Beautiful green place Mr. Paul this wooden path way you were standing on is this original part of this bridge or it is addition mad by the authority preserve it as historic moment

[@Realunitedstates]

The wooden pathway is a more recent addition, made when the bridge was converted from rail traffic to a pedestrian bridge. It really is quite a lovely place to visit. Thanks!

They certainly don't make 'em like they used to

[@Realunitedstates]

They sure don't. It's such a beautiful specimen.
