Bridging the gap

Brownsville bridge, US Route 40 over the Monongahela River.

 

This bridge was completed in 1914 to replace an 1831 wooden structure that was ill-suited for the vehicular traffic that the National Road was beginning to carry.

 

I thought at first my horizon was off - but the bridge does slope like this.
