Updated 3/7/2024:
I have been hard at work determining the relationship between roads and buildings in North Weirton as they existed in the early 1950s. The accuracy of my track plan has strayed a little, so I decided to make a full size mock-up of the area and see what actually will fit and look right.
In this photo we are looking north. The pink paper at the far left is Main Street north of the intersection of Main Street, County Road (in yellow) and Pennsylvania Avenue (brown). The purple / blue paper is Main Street south of the intersection. The yard sticks depict its movement further south. The green paper is the footprint of the Mill Administration Building (MAB).
The yard sticks roughly indicate the boundaries of the street, which will rise over the tracks to make Crawford's Crossing. Between the near yardstick and the tracks will go a greatly foreshortened Quality Control Lab (if I can figure out how to make that happen).
Below are the 2 tracks bridged by Crawford's Crossing. The section of road between the two mills is meant to be elevated. I have it on the bench top strictly to indicate its rough position.
Finally, here's a look towards the mills. And yes, WV Route 2 (aka Main Street) does did actually pass down the middle of the mill complex (there's not much mill left these days. )
I've still got a lot of thinking to do about how this will actually become reality, but it's a start.
More when I know it.
