The Wayne Six Toll Bridge, formerly the Newell Toll Bridge, is a privately owned suspension bridge over the Ohio River on the Golding Street Extension between East Liverpool, Ohio and Newell, West Virginia, United States. It carries two lanes of roadway and a pedestrian path along the west side. Tolls are charged for all road users at varying rates depending on the vehicle. The bridge is one of the last suspension bridges on the Ohio River.[1]
In July 2023, the bridge was renamed in honor of its longtime caretaker, Wayne Six, who at the time had been in charge of the bridge's upkeep for 56 years.[2]
