PARKERSBURG (News and Sentinel )— The planned rehabilitation of the Memorial Bridge would open it up to heavy trucks again, but the company buying the bridge doesn’t expect the daily traffic count to change much.
During an event hosted by the Chamber of Commerce of the Mid-Ohio Valley and Belpre Area Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday, representatives of United Bridge Partners, parent company of Parkersburg Bridge Partners, provided an update on its planned purchase of the bridge and $50 million rehabilitation.
