Low Level- Nickel Bridge Bridge
- Low Level- Nickel Bridge Bridge
In 1908,after rapid growth in population due to industry, a steel bridge was erected in Fairmont, West Virginia to replace the suspension bridge. It also, spanned the Monongahela River. The bridge was called the "Nickel Bridge" because one had to pay a nickel toll in order to cross it. It's other nickname the "Low Level Bridge" was due to it being downstream from the Robert H. Mollohan-Jefferson Street Bridge which was on a "higher span" than the nickel bridge was. Over the years it fell into poor repair and was found to be unsafe in the late 1980's and was then closed. The bridge sat unused for many years and was demolished in the 2000's. The only remnant from the bridge is a pier that still stands in the middle of the Monongahela River.
