WV 618

West End: Ohio River at Parkersburg

East End: Parkersburg

Editors Note: WV 618 is the old alignment of US 50 through Parkersburg. It was first signed in January 2005. US 50 is being moved onto a southern bypass of Parkersburg which will complete Corridor D. The WV 618 designation matches Ohio Route 618 which is the same number used for Old US 50 through Belpre. WV 618 will continue as Ohio 618 when the new US 50 is completed.

(Michael Muiznieks) Although not signed, this is the western terminus of WV 618 at the Ohio River in Parkersburg. US 50, which will move onto a new bridge in the upcoming bridge, crosses the Ohio via the Belpre (Ohio) - Parkersburg Bridge. When US 50 is moved onto the bypass and over the new bridge, this will be signed WV 618.

This is the last sign for WV 618 west in Parkersburg before the terminus. WV 618 makes the right turn onto US 50 to cross the Ohio River. The overhead guide sign in the background for US 50 and Ohio Route 7 is what WV 618 follows.

This is the first East WV 618 shield in Parkersburg after the designation leaves US 50.

(Michael Muiznieks) The Eastern Terminus of WV 618 is signed and is at US 50 on the southeastern side of Parkersburg.
