Western Terminus

Eastern Entrance



US 250 meets US 40 at an interchange with OH 7 in Bridgeport. From there, US 250 and US 40 concurrently cross the Ohio River and head into Wheeling, West Virginia. The US 40 and US 250 East shields in front of the OH 7 overpass each feature a directional plate with the first letter larger than the rest. This sort of directional plate is starting to appear for the first time in Ohio, where numerous other states such as West Virginia and Pennsylvania have been observing this signing practice for a few years.

Here is the scene along the westbound US 40 / US 250 multiplex as it prepares to depart Wheeling Island and cross the Ohio into Ohio. The old bridge which used to carry US 40 / US 250 over the Ohio River still stands today, immediately north of the current bridge. A JCT OH 7 0.5 mile guide sign stands on the West Virginia side of the bridge.

No sooner then the US 40 / US 250 multiplex exits the Ohio River bridge, it immediately has an at-grade railroad crossing. Just thereafter is the OH 7 interchange. The ramp to OH 7 North is accessed by a right turn in between the railroad tracks and the overpass, OH 7 South can be reached by a left turn after the overpass, and US 250 splits off from US 40 by a right turn after the overpass.
