Pink Bridge

The Pink Bridge is a concrete arch bridge in Huntington that crosses Four Pole Creek at 8th Street. The structure features a simple arch design with pedestrian walkways running along both sides.

In October 2006, a resident painted the bridge pink without city approval to raise awareness about breast cancer. The city's response sparked debate, but the structure kept its new color for several years afterward.

The bridge became a focal point for conversations about public art and how individual actions can shape community dialogue. People use it as a symbol for how creative expression can draw attention to health matters that concern them.

You can reach the bridge by following 8th Street in Huntington, with parking available near both ends. It is easy to walk across and accessible to all visitors.

The bridge earned its distinctive name from an unexpected art project rather than an official city designation. After roughly three years, officials decided to restore the original white color, marking a turning point in the structure's story.
