Wheeling Suspension Bridge back in view after 50 years following demolition of former Wheeling Inn

WHEELING, W.Va. – Tipping Point Development announced that the Raze demolition company has removed nearly 80 percent of the former Wheeling Inn on Main Street.

The site will be developed as the Wheeling Gateway Visitors and Heritage Center. Tipping Point says the demolition has revealed an unobstructed view of the historic Suspension Bridge for Wheeling residents, which they say is “a sight unseen in over 50 years.”

Raze is beginning to remove debris from the site, which they will transport to another location for processing. Tipping Point says the material will be repurposed as infill.

There will be heavy truck traffic entering and exiting the Main Street area. Raze has flagging crews on-site to manage traffic flow.
