Hi Carpenter Memorial Bridge, Ohio River crossing in St. Marys, United States
The Hi Carpenter Memorial Bridge stretches 2,579 feet across the Ohio River, connecting Newport, Ohio with St. Marys, West Virginia through four traffic lanes.
Construction of this $25.1 million cantilever bridge began in June 1973, replacing a 1928 suspension bridge that closed after the Silver Bridge disaster.
The bridge commemorates Hiram A. Carpenter, a local riverman who started his career at age 13 and developed multiple transportation businesses in the region.
The structure carries Ohio State Route 807 and West Virginia Route 807, linking WV Route 2 with Ohio Route 7 for daily commuters and commercial traffic.
The northern approach features a distinctive U-curve configuration at the Ohio end, where the bridge meets the intersection with Route 7.
