Simeon Willis Memorial Bridge is a bridge crossing the Ohio River connecting US 23 and (US 60) in Ashland, Kentucky to US 52 in Coal Grove, Ohio.

Opened in 1985, the bridge is named for Kentucky Governor Simeon S. Willis. The bridge was originally planned to cross at 45th St. and connect to a proposed Ashland bypass, but was instead built one block from the existing Ben Williamson Memorial Bridge and carries only northbound traffic.

The shorter Ohio portion of the bridge officially carries part of Ohio State Route 652 but is not signed as such.^[1]
