Sixth Street Bridge Spire

One of four spires crowned the old Sixth Street Bridge over the Ohio River, which connected Huntington and Chesapeake, Ohio. After business leaders concluded that a bridge was essential, they formed the Huntington-Ohio Bridge Company and authorized construction in 1925. The company sold the bridge to Cabell County in 1940 for two million dollars, and in 1952 Cabell County transferred it to the State of West Virginia to ensure maintenance and repairs. The old span was demolished on February 3, 1995, and two of the spires were dedicated at their new location on Ninth Street in 2007.
