Memorial Bridge signage in Parkersburg, WV.
While some internal WVDOT documents refer to the bridge as West Virginia Route 140,[2] the number is not signed nor shown on state-issued maps.[3]
The bridge was completed c. 1954, and is of a steel through truss design, a combination of two camelback-Warren through trusses, and a 3-span cantilevered Warren through truss. It accommodates two lanes of traffic, one in either direction.
This bridge has a toll for passenger cars of $0.50; travelers may also purchase tickets to reduce the toll from $0.50 to $0.40 per trip when $2.00 worth are purchased. There are no automatic lanes and E-ZPass is not accepted.
As of August 18, 2022, the bridge has been closed to all traffic indefinitely while a project to make improvements to the bridge is underway. Previously the bridge was reduced to one way traffic, but many vehicles were violating this by going around barriers which prompted the bridge partners to close it for safety of workers.[4]
