McDonald Memorial Bridge, also known as the Glade Creek Bridge, is a deck truss bridge located in Raleigh County, West Virginia near the city of Beckley. The bridge is among the ten highest bridges in the United States, and the highest bridge within the Interstate Highway System being a part of I-64,[1] with a deck height of {{convert|700|ft|0|abbr=on}} above Glade Creek.[2][3] The bridge is also among the top hundred highest bridges in the world.[4] The bridge is named after West Virginia native Phill G. McDonald (the official bridge name is missing the second 'L') who was a United States Army soldier and a recipient of the United States military's highest decoration—the Medal of Honor—for his actions in the Vietnam War.[1][5] The bridge has a main span length of {{convert|784|ft|m|0|abbr=on}} and a total length of {{convert|2179|ft|m|0|abbr=on}}.[3][4] The completion of the bridge was the final part of I-64 to be built in West Virginia with Governor Arch Moore opening the bridge at a ribbon-cutting ceremony on 15 July 1988.[1] References1. ^1 2 3 {{citation | url = http://www.wchstv.com/newsroom/rememberwhen/rem131215_35.shtml | title = July 15, 1988 - Opening Of Glade Creek Bridge Marks Completion Of Interstate System In WV | author = Heath Harrison | publisher = Eyewitness News Online | date = 15 December 2013 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140810010524/http://www.wchstv.com/newsroom/rememberwhen/rem131215_35.shtml |archivedate=10 August 2014 |deadurl=yes | accessdate = 8 November 2016 |quote=Built at a cost of $29 million ... it is the second highest bridge in the state, the fifth tallest in the nation and the highest on the Interstate Highway System. ...
