Route description

The majority of SR 607 was on the East Huntington Bridge. The route started at the Ohio–West Virginia state line over the Ohio River. Less than one-half mile (0.80 km) later, the route curved to the south and ended at SR 7 and SR 243 near Proctorville.

History

The East Huntington Bridge was built in 1985, and a year later, SR 607 was designated.

Chesapeake Bypass and State Route 607T

As a part of the Chesapeake Bypass project, SR 607 was temporarily extended north of SR 7 and SR 243 along a new bypass alignment to Irene Road in 2004. The extension was known as SR 607T. In 2006, SR 7 was moved onto this road and SR 775 was extended south to replace SR 607.
