context_page_description: West Virginia Route 2 is a state highway in the US state of West Virginia. It generally parallels the Ohio River along the western border of the state, from U.S. Route 60 in Huntington northeasterly to U.S. Route 30 in Chester.
  WV 2 leaves the shores of the Ohio River in two places: between Point Pleasant and Mount Alto and between Ravenswood and Waverly. The entire route is included as a part of the National Highway System, a system of routes determined to be the most important for the nation's economy, mobility, and defense.
