next_route=598West Virginia Route 527 is a north-south
state highway located entirely in the Huntington,West Virginia area. The southern terminus of the route is at Interstate 64 exit 8 south of the city, where WV 527 becomesWest Virginia Route 152 upon crossing the expressway. The northern terminus is on theWest Virginia Department of Transportation -maintainedRobert C. Byrd Bridge , better known as the Sixth Street Bridge, where the route becomes State Route 527 upon crossing intoOhio . In Ohio, SR 527 continues northward to State Route 7 in Chesapeake.While the current Sixth Street Bridge was opened to traffic in
1995 , its predecessor once carriedU.S. Route 52 across theOhio River to SR 7, hence the current numbering.The southern terminus of WV 527 is most unusual, as it also serves as the northern terminus of WV 152, which continues along the same street as it passes over I-64 (both state routes are indicated on exit signage on the
expressway ). WV 152 continues along the former routing of US 52 until its intersection with US 52 four miles north of Crum.
