===Highways=== The primary roadways of Huntington include one major Interstate, [[Interstate 64 in West Virginia|Interstate 64]] (I-64); two U.S. Highways, [[U.S. Route 60 in West Virginia|U.S. Route 60]] (US 60) and [[U.S. Route 52 in West Virginia|US 52]]; six state routes; and numerous major thoroughfares. Huntington utilizes a grid-like street pattern featuring several wide [[boulevard]]-style avenues that run east and west. Most notable of these are Third and Fifth avenues. The city has a numbered street naming system, with avenues running east and west (parallel to the Ohio River) and streets running north and south. * I-64, which skirts the South Hills with four interchanges that serve the city: US 52 ([[West Huntington Expressway]]), [[West Virginia Route 152|WV 152]]/[[West Virginia Route 527|WV 527]], [[West Virginia Route 10|WV 10]], and [[U.S. Route 60 in West Virginia|US 60]]. Exits 6 through 15 service the City of Huntington. US 52 is at exit 6. * [[Interstate 73 in West Virginia|I-73]] and [[Interstate 74 in West Virginia|I-74]] are programmed to run concurrently with US 52 throughout western West Virginia. It is slated to use the [[Tolsia Highway]] near Kenova and the West Huntington Expressway near West Huntington's Old [[14th Street West Historic District|Central City]] neighborhood. * US 60 is part of the historic [[Midland Trail (West Virginia)|Midland Trail]] that enters the city coming from Barboursville in the east at exit 11 off I-64. US 60 heads toward downtown, splitting into the 3rd and 5th avenues, just west of the WV 2 terminus. US 60 parallels the Ohio River through downtown, and merges into a four-lane undivided highway after crossing under the West Huntington Expressway (US 52) in the West End. US 60 exits the city in the west near the [[Camden Park (amusement park)|Camden Park]]. * US 52 (West Huntington Expressway) is a four-lane expressway that enters Huntington from Ohio via the [[West Huntington Bridge]] from [[Chesapeake, Ohio]], in the north, and heads south crossing US 60 in the West End. US 52 then turns west, overlapping I-64 beginning at exit 6, just south of Huntington city limits. US 52 and I-64 stay concurrent for {{convert|5|mi|km}} in an easterly direction until reaching Exit 1, signed as the Kenova-Ceredo exit. Along with [[West Virginia Route 75]], US 52 heads south from the intersection, paralleling the [[Big Sandy River (Ohio River)|Big Sandy River]] and [[US 23 (KY)|US 23]], which parallels the river on the [[Kentucky]] side of the river. From {{convert|1|mi|km|spell=in}} south of Kenova, it is known as the Tolsia Highway for many miles through Wayne County. * [[West Virginia Route 2]] (WV 2) has its southern terminus just north of Huntington at US 60. WV 2, which parallels the entirety of West Virginia's section of the Ohio River, facilitates much traffic towards [[Point Pleasant, West Virginia|Point Pleasant]] and [[Parkersburg, West Virginia|Parkersburg]]. * [[West Virginia Route 10|WV 10]] follows the Guyandotte River for much of its length and connects Huntington to [[Princeton, West Virginia|Princeton]]. It enters the city south of I-64 at Hal Greer Boulevard. North of I-64 the highway is known as 16th Street. The highway's northern terminus is in downtown just south of the Ohio River at US 60, near [[Marshall University]]. * [[West Virginia Route 101|WV 101]] is an unsigned highway which runs for less than a mile, connecting Third Avenue (US 60) with [[Rotary Park]]. Until 1990, this was an alignment of US 60. * [[West Virginia Route 106|WV 106]] enters the Huntington neighborhood of [[Guyandotte, Huntington, West Virginia|Guyandotte]], via the [[East End Bridge (Huntington)|East End Bridge]] from [[Proctorville, Ohio|Proctorville]]. The highway crosses WV 2, and immediately terminates at US 60, across the 3rd and 5th avenue split. * [[West Virginia Route 152|WV 152]]'s northern terminus is just shy of the city at I-64. Continuing north, it changes to WV 527. * [[West Virginia Route 527|WV 527]] crosses south into Huntington from [[Chesapeake, Ohio]], via the [[Robert C. Byrd Bridge]]. WV 527 then travels through downtown as 5th Street and exits the city at I-64, which serves as the highway's southern terminus. Continuing south will lead into WV 152.
