I'm surprised it even took this long given the previous guesses. They were all around this thing lol

I can post a larger copy if this is too hard to see.

I'm having trouble finding a good side view, but is it the Clarks Ferry Bridge (US 22/322 over the Susquehanna)?

It is not.

Is it located on Ohio River valley between US-52 and US-23? I don't remember to see a bridge of this kind in Quebec.

How about the US 340 bridge over the Shenandoah?

[plain]

I'm very familiar with this bridge but I'm gonna sit this one out.

[1995hoo]

Regarding the two most recent guesses, it is not in the Ohio River Valley and it does not span the Shenandoah River, although jlam is on the right track.

The hint I would give would make it too obvious in view of the preceding sentence, so I'll wait a while before I give that hint.

US-340 over the Potomac?

[1995hoo]

US-340 over the Potomac?

Yes, you are correct. jlam was so close and I don't doubt he might have been thinking of the correct bridge, but because the confluence of the Shenandoah and the Potomac is right there, essentially directly in front of where I was standing when I took the photo, and because US-340 crosses the Shenandoah on a different bridge nearby (to the right of and behind the camera angle), I felt I couldn't validly say "close enough."

The clue I was going to give was that the bridge connects two states (Virginia and Maryland) and I was not standing in either one of them when I took the picture (I was, of course, in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, when I took the photo looking east down the Potomac).

kevinb1994 is up next.

The Potomac and Susquehanna (and of course Shenandoah) do look remarkably similar to one another.

When jlam said that I was like wow lmaooo soooo close!

Heh, I felt like Alex Trebek or Ken Jennings when someone adds a syllable to a word or similar. There was one like that last Friday. The clue was: "A narrow mountain edge gets 'AB' at the front to become this word of literary shortening." The defending champion said, "What is an abridgement?" That was called wrong and the player in the middle said, "What is abridge?" That was correct and Jennings noted that the defending champion was incorrect because "ridgement" is not a word. (The contestant who got it right then thanked the defending champion, which I thought was maybe a bit of a snarky thing to do.)

No, wrong crossing.

Is it along the Schuylkill River before the Schuykill Expwy was built?

[1995hoo]

It's the Northeast Corridor crossing the Raritan River from New Brunswick to Highland Park.

[kevinb1994]

Is it along the Schuylkill River before the Schuykill Expwy was built?

No, definitely not the Schuylkill.

[kevinb1994]

Correct!

Is it the Norman Wood Bridge in Pennsylvania, where PA 372 crosses the Susquehanna River (between Lancaster and York counties)?

It is not. It's not in Pennsylvania. I know that narrows it down bigtime.
