Interstate 470 (Ohio-West Virginia) (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Interstate 470 (abbreviated I-470) is a 10.63-mile (17.11 km) loop highway that bypasses downtown Wheeling, West Virginia. The western terminus is Interstate 70 near Blaine, Ohio, east of St. Clairsville, while the eastern terminus is I-70 in the Wheeling neighborhood of Elm Grove. There are junctions with Ohio Route 7 and West Virginia Route 2 on either side of the Ohio River, which is crossed by the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Bridge. The portion of I-470 in West Virginia was recently designated the U.S.S. West Virginia Memorial Highway. It is the only auxiliary Interstate in West Virginia. I-470 also serves as a through-truck route for trucks carrying hazardous materials, allowing trucks to avoid the Wheeling Tunnel on I-70.
