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 Newell, West Virginia and East Liverpool, Ohio, 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 upon vehicle; pedestrians are also tolled. 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.^[2]
