A Wayne County landmark and piece of history turned 100 years old Monday.
The railroad bridge crossing over the Ohio River between Kenova and South Point is now a century old.
The bridge is part of Norfolk Southern's railway infrastructure and helped to develop the economy in the area.
The bridge was actually constructed more than 100 years ago, but the completed structure you can see today was finished in 1913.
