West Huntington Bridge

The West Huntington Bridge is a road bridge that crosses the Ohio River, connecting Huntington in West Virginia with Burlington in Ohio. The structure carries traffic between these two communities on opposite banks of the river.

The bridge opened in 1968 as part of a regional expressway project. It became an important link in the transportation network connecting West Virginia and Ohio.

The bridge gained recognition through its appearance in the 2006 film 'We Are Marshall', representing the connection between two distinct state communities.

The crossing is open daily for vehicle traffic between the two states and provides a direct route for commuters and travelers. Visitors should expect the bridge to be busy during peak hours, particularly in the morning and evening.

The bridge underwent major renovation in 1999 and received a distinctive green paint treatment as part of its modernization. This color refresh gave it a renewed appearance that locals and travelers notice.
