West Virginia Route 618 is an east–west state highway located entirely in Parkersburg, West Virginia. The route follows the former path of U.S. Route 50 through downtown Parkersburg. It was created when US 50 was realigned onto a bypass of Parkersburg constructed as part of an upgrade of Corridor D. The designation is meant as a continuation of Ohio's State Route 618, though Ohio Route 618 turns left at the Parkersburg-Belpre Bridge before it would actually meet West Virginia Route 618.
The unsigned western terminus of WV 618 is at the Ohio state line on the Parkersburg-Belpre Bridge. The signed eastern terminus is at an interchange with US 50 in Parkersburg.

“In the mountains the shortest route is from peak to peak, but for that you must have long legs. Aphorisms should be peaks: and those to whom they are spoken should be big and tall of stature.”
