This bridge connects east and west Fairmont, and crosses the Monongahela River.

[2] George Carnegie Palmer and Henry Hornbostel of the New York City architectural firm Palmer & Hornbostel were consultants to the Concrete Steel Engineering Company for the design of the bridge.

[2] Palmer & Hornbostel gave "the bridge thirty-three concrete obelisks supporting bronze light fixtures, an open balustrade, and four balconies with flagpoles.

Below, three large segmental arches with open-rib spandrels evince a happy marriage of engineering and architecture.

[3][4] It is still the largest reinforced concrete arch bridge in West Virginia.
