Ravenswood Bridge

State Route 824
State Route 824
Location	Lebanon Township

Ravenswood Bridge is a two-lane cantilever bridge in the United States, connecting Ravenswood, West Virginia and rural Meigs County, Ohio, across the Ohio River. It has a total length of 2,710 ft (830 m) with a main span of 900 ft (270 m). The bridge was completed in 1981.^[1]

The bridge replaced a ferry that had crossed the river between Ravenswood at Walnut Street and rural Lebanon Township since at least 1908.^[2]^[3] When the bridge opened in 1981, on the Ohio side of the river, the bridge and its approach route carried the 0.57-mile-long (0.92 km) State Route 824 (SR 824).^[4] The crossing originally led to a winding two-lane SR 338. In 2003, the SR 824 designation was removed when the US 33 bypass in Meigs County was completed leading to Pomeroy, Ohio.^[5]
