Pomeroy–Mason Bridge

The Pomeroy-Mason Bridge is a modern cable-stayed structure spanning the Ohio River at the border between Ohio and West Virginia. Its sleek steel cables and concrete towers create a distinctive profile above the river valley.

The bridge opened in 2008 as a replacement for an older steel structure that had connected the two shores since 1928. This replacement improved traffic flow and modernized the decades-old crossing.

The bridge serves as a daily crossing point where residents from both states meet and conduct their routines together. It has become a symbol of connection for the communities on either side, shaping how people move through their shared region.

The bridge welcomes both vehicle and pedestrian traffic, making it accessible for crossing between the two states. Keep in mind this is an active traffic route, so visitors should stay alert while using it.

Purple lighting illuminates the bridge at night, highlighting its cable structure and creating a distinctive glow in the river valley. This lighting system makes the structure instantly recognizable to travelers moving through the area after dark.
