View of the Wheeling Suspension Bridge

Great views from the Wheeling Heritage Path of the Wheeling Suspension Bridge. From 1849 to 1851, it was the largest suspension bridge in the world.

The wheeling waterfront is beautiful. Be sure to check out the giant wooden swing for two. One of two in the northern panhandle, the second is tucked away on a side trail in Thomlinson Run state park New Cumberland Wv.
If you’d like to cross or go out on the wheeling suspension bridge, currently closed to car traffic, the most direct route is water st to main but it’s an intense uphill battle. The longer easier way is to go down to 14th, cut across to Market st, turn left and up to 10th. Pretty low, slow traffic and along the way you’ll pass some really good restaurants and a cool plaza area. When you turn on 10th you’re presented with a great full view of the wheeling suspension bridge designed by Roebling.
