Bridge fight aims to boost ferry traffic and win Ohio River span
In Racine, Meigs County leaders press for a new across river bridge between Ravenswood West Virginia and Meigs County Ohio. They seek more ferry business to justify upgrades and advocate highway signs directing travelers to the Ravenswood ferry landing. The effort ties to Route 437 and I-77 access, with funding hurdles and state officials weighing the plan.

Meigs High School Wing Opens Sept 2 At Rock Springs
Meigs County prepares for a new era in education with the million dollar Meigs Comprehensive High School at Rock Springs. A vocational wing includes cosmetology, business education, automotive mechanics, welding, drafting, and agriculture, aimed at college-bound and job-ready graduates. Route 33 by pass embankments create dangerous blind spots for school buses, prompting state traffic surveys and possible safety fixes before the September opening.
