OH 807, a very short route at 0.4 mile in length, serves as the Ohio approach to the Carpenter Bridge, a four-lane crossing of the Ohio River between Newport, Ohio, and Saint Marys, West Virginia. What is considered the southern terminus is actually north of the northern terminus, because of the orientation of OH 807. OH 807 goes north from OH 7, then abruptly hooks west and south, and enters onto the Carpenter Bridge.

Southern Terminus

The southern terminus of OH 807 is at OH 7 in Newport. There is no END signage present for OH 807 at the OH 7 intersection, but rather this assembly featuring NORTH and SOUTH OH 7 shields and a destination sign for OH 7.

This guide sign is located on southbound OH 7, as it approaches the intersection with OH 807. WV 2 is West Virginia's counterpart to OH 7 on its side of the Ohio River.

Northern Terminus

As OH 807 enters the bridge, and END OH 807 sign is present. On the West Virginia side of the bridge is the unsigned WV 807, which intersects OH 2 just southeast of the bridge.
