IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT FRAUDULENT TOLL COLLECTION TEXTS

The FBI has issued a warning to the public about a growing text phishing scam (known as “smishing”). Scammers are impersonating tolling authorities and stating recipients owe an outstanding toll amount. Recipients are directed to click a link to settle the balance and avoid late fees.

If you receive a text like this and want to verify if you owe a balance, please check your account online at https://parkersburgbridgepartners.com/ or call Houbolt Road Extension customer service at 855.643.4389 weekdays between 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM CT.

The FBI is advising consumers not to click on the link and to delete the text. Fraudulent texts can be reported with the FBI’s Internet Crime Compliant Center (IC3) at www.ic3.gov.

About Us

Memorial Bridge is a vital gateway through the Mid-Ohio Valley, linking communities, serving employment centers and emergency routes while promoting economic development.

Parkersburg Bridge Partners is committed to safe and effective maintenance of the Memorial Bridge as it assumes ownership from the City of Parkersburg. We will design, rehabilitate, own, operate and maintain the bridge to a high standard. Most importantly, we are establishing roots in Parkersburg, hiring local employees and becoming an active member of the community.

As a local subsidiary of United Bridge Partners, the complete rehabilitation project is fully funded and uses no local, state or federal funds for construction or operations.
