Route 68 Shutdown Extended to Sept 12 | Charleston News

Route 68 between Ravenswood and Parkersburg, WV, is now shut down until September 12th for bridge work on the William S. Ritchie Jr. Bridge — a massive 2,700-foot span over the Ohio River. Originally set to finish August 18th, the $11.26M project by Triton Construction (busy with other Charleston bridges) now faces daily fines of $1,600 per day. Drivers must detour via I-77 or through Ohio — a major headache for commuters and freight haulers. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
