Situated along the Ohio River in eastern Ohio, Bridgeport is a community whose identity is shaped by its position directly across the water from Wheeling, West Virginia. The city occupies a narrow river valley in Belmont County, with the steep hills of the Ohio Valley rising beyond corridors of road, rail and river traffic. U.S. Route 40 follows the route of the historic National Road through Bridgeport, linking it to one of America’s earliest federally funded highways. Interstate 70 also crosses the river here, reinforcing Bridgeport’s role as a connection between Ohio and West Virginia.
