The purpose of this study is to evaluate the need and location for a crossing between Ohio SR 7 and WV SR 193 northeast of the Huntington metropolitan area. It is anticipated that a new Ohio River Crossing would serve as a vital component to enhancing local and regional mobility in the Ohio, West Virginia, and Kentucky Tri-state region.
A new Ohio River Crossing, combined with completion of the relocated SR-7 (Phase-II) by the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT), would improve cross-river mobility in the Huntington metropolitan area, strengthen the transportation network in the Tri-state region, and support completion of the Huntington Outerbelt linking Ohio, West Virginia and key segments of I-64.
