Auto Insurance in Huntington and Cabell County
I-64 is Huntington's core corridor, with documented multi-vehicle crashes at exits like 29th Street and near bridge approaches over the Guyandotte River. The West Huntington Bridge (US-52) crosses the Ohio River into Ohio, adding cross-river freight and commuter volume. Marshall University drives dense student and pedestrian traffic near I-64 access points, and local sources note rising hit-and-run incidents in these corridors.
Huntington sits directly on the Ohio River, and the catastrophic January 1937 flood crested at 69.45 feet, leaving roughly 40% of residents homeless and leading directly to the construction of the Huntington floodwall in 1943 — a structure that has since prevented an estimated $238.8 million in damage. Even so, recent flash floods have still affected local streets and Marshall University buildings.
