Gallipolis

Gallipolis is a town in Ohio near Point Pleasant.

Background
The Silver Bridge linked Gallipolis, Ohio, with Point Pleasant, West Virginia. On December 15, 1967, a malfunctioning traffic light on the Ohio side caused a pile up on the Silver Bridge. At 4:58pm, a rusted eyebar link snapped and the Silver Bridge fell into the Ohio River below. 31 vehicles and 46 people plunged to their deaths. Sometime after, a new bridge was built in its place. Sometime after the Great War, this bridge collapsed again, thus making the road between Gallipolis and Point Pleasant inaccessible again.
