'Cheat River Bridge after the other washed away in 1918. This was not built upon the same piers and was a short distance further north. The old one went across from bluff to about where the shelving rock goes out (people swim and fish there now). Toward Mont Chateau. This same bridge was raised and added to when lake went in in 1926."
