    This video popped up in my feed. Damn, I had absolutely no idea what a thrilling ride I-470 is! Steep grades, bridges, hills, modern freeway engineering; would love to drive this some day.

    That Interstate 470/Ohio 7 interchange is awesome! It's a diamond interchange with bypasses for the thru traffic on Ohio Highway 7. You only have to deal with the traffic light and the at-grade intersection if you want to switch from one highway to the other.

    This is from y hometown of Wheeling, WV. I haven't been there in over a decade and this brought back memories. I remember being in junior high school right near the tri-level interchange of I-70 & I-470 when it was completed. Thanks!

    I really love the scenery around Wheeling, it certainly looks like it would be nice place to live.

    My parents moved to Bethlehem 1/1/1970. They were still blasting the hill back then. We watched 470 being built from start to finish. I even remember them building the bridge to Ohio. Too bad so many houses and businesses had to be destroyed for this road to nowhere.

    A great vid mate... bizarre to see an unused brige of that size just sitting there.
    Gotta love the scenery

    Ohio 7 can be a beautiful freeway as you head north as well. It's not as heavily used as other freeways in Ohio but I have been on it a few times north of Wheeling and the WVA border and I am glad to see this vid today! Great vids as always Jim!

    Been through this stretch several times. Interesting bit of trivia. The Bellaire Toll Bridge you pass by at about 3:49, was closed in late 1990 and has been slated to be imploded for a good few years. Politics and red tape have kept it standing unused for over 25 years. And it will ring in 2017 unused, rusting, and still standing above the Ohio river.

    Please help stray cats in Wheeling. Feed them and give them some water. People feed birds, rabbits. Cats deserve to be taken care of, all cats even stray and feral cats. They shouldn't have to survive without proper nutrition. They need shelters for the winter, and catnip toys. Help the outdoor cat population not only survive but have a somewhat enjoyable life at least

    @ScrewdUPClickV2 Thanks, yeah the first bridge is out of commission (8th Street) the next one is a RR bridge in use according to Google Earth.

    @cjs121675 Thanks and agreed on OH-7. Back in 2005 I drove it north to Steubenville to pick up US-22, that would be worth a video as well someday.

    Do you have any videos of US 23 through Kentucky esp at the Virginia border?

    I wonder what the speed limit is on OH-7? It looks like lots of wide-open territory.
