Opequon at Wadesville on the line between Frederick and Clarke counties, is meeting with much favor and indications are that the project will be carried through. The structure under contemplation is to span the Opequon at a dangerous ford where the stream is crossed by the road from Brucetown to Wadesville. It is planned to build a steel bridge with concrete abutments, the cost, estimated at about $4000, to be borne by Clarke and Frederick counties, by state aid, and by private subscriptions,"- November 9, 1915 "At a joint meeting of the Boards of Supervisors of Clarke and Frederick counties, held in Winchester this week, bids were received for the construction of a bridge over Opequon Creek at Wadesville, which is the dividing line between the two counties. The successful bidders for the concrete bridge was the Monongahela Valley Engineering Co. of Morgantown, W.Va. at their price of $8,964.07. The cost is borne one-half by the state of Virginia and one fourth each of the county of Clarke and the County of Frederick."- February 8, 1917. The bridge was constructed over the ford in 1917 by the Monongahela Valley Engineering Company of Morgantown, West Virginia. "The new concrete bridge over the Opequon Creek at Wadesville, one of the most unique structures of its kind in the state, is now ready for traffic. The four approaches to the bridge have been filled in and vehicles can now pass over it. Highways from four different directions lead to this bridge and join there. The bridge was badly needed there. There have been narrow escapes from drowning in the Opequon at that point. Motorists also have been stranded in the middle of the creek, not knowing the ford. The state built the bridge at a cost of about $10,000. The counties of Clarke and Frederick paid one-half the cost of filling in the approaches."- March 22, 1919. Fire at the Station, December 30, 1941 "WADESVILLE- Fire of undetermined origin completely destroyed the building housing the Baltimore and Ohio passenger station, the post office and the general merchandise store of William Eleyette here early this morning. The John H. Enders Fire Company of Berryville responded to an alarm, but despite a fast trip, arrived too late to render assistance other than to remove threats to a stone building used as a garage which was situated on the opposite side of the railway tracks.
