The article below ran in The Evening Review on November 7, 1977 and discusses what would later be named the Veterans Memorial Bridge linking Steubenville, Ohio and Weirton, WV via Route 22. It mentions "two or three years" to complete -- it ened up taking roughly eleven years. Also, the cost was projected at less than half the actual cost of $70 million.
