BACKGROUND The bridge was completed in 1970 as part of the West Huntington Expressway . West Virginia Route 94 was signed on this bridge until 1984 when U.S. Route 52 was diverted on to a new route with Interstate 64. In 1999 , the bridge was closed to traffic for refurbishing, which included a new driving surface, barriers and a green paint scheme. On May 9, 1999, the bridge was reopened and subsequently dedicated to Nick Joe Rahall , the congressman for the 3rd District of West Virginia Redekopp, Christina. "West End bridge bears name of Rep. Nick Rahall." Herald-Dispatch {Link without Title} 9 May, 1999. 2 Jan. 2007.. It was the first public works project to bear his name. SEE ALSO
