Moundsville Bridge, Road bridge between Moundsville, West Virginia and Mead Township, Ohio, United States
The Moundsville Bridge stretches across the Ohio River with four lanes, connecting West Virginia and Ohio through a steel truss design spanning 4,239 feet.
The bridge construction began in the early 1970s and officially opened to traffic in November 1974, replacing a toll ferry service that operated since 1951.
Named after former West Virginia governor Arch A. Moore Jr, the bridge stands near Native American burial mounds and the West Virginia Penitentiary.
The bridge carries Ohio State Route 872 on the Ohio side and West Virginia Route 2 Spur on the West Virginia side, facilitating regional transportation.
The structure reduced traffic on nearby toll bridges by half within its first year of operation, affecting particularly the revenue of Bellaire Bridge.
