    "rail-to-trail project" might get the clicks, but it's an extremely poor description of the situation:

    > STEUBENVILLE, Ohio — The Market Street Bridge still looms over the Ohio River, spanning almost 1,800 feet [...] this once majestic steel suspension bridge closed nearly three years ago. [...] "You got severe rusting under here," explains Michael Paprocki, a regional transportation planner, as he points to visible holes in the rusted beams..."

    > There is a plan to replace the Market Street Bridge with another one a few blocks away that would include a dedicated trail for bikes and pedestrians. Congress has appropriated $87 million so far. But that's only a fraction of what the new bridge will actually cost.

    And here's the bridge - https://www.google.com/maps/place/Steubenville,+OH/@40.35819...
