WV 2 Spur from Moundsville This rather standard looking design through truss connects Moundsville, WV to Dilles Bottom, Ohio. Without this bridge, there would be no way across the Ohio River between Wheeling and New Martinsville, a distance of 35 miles. Photo taken by J.R. Manning in October 2007 View high-res version
