WV-104/OH-607 Ohio River Crossing At Huntington Huntington, West Virginia
The Frank 'Gunner' Gatski Memorial Bridge is a single tower cable stayed
bridge. The tower is an inverted-Y, with the roadway going between the two
legs of the Y. The cable arrangement is asymmetrical, which
means that the suspended deck is shorter on one side resulting in
the need for fewer cables on that side of the span.
