The 20-foot bridge near the Kanawha State Forest campground is officially OPEN today! WVDOH District 1 crews replaced the deteriorating structure in just a few weeks by upcycling salvaged steel from the Montrose Bridge project. A massive win for saving both time and money!

Washington Street, West update: That "Renovation and Replacement" work is actually West Virginia Division of Highways (WVDOH) microsurfacing, a process which seals the road for a longer lifespan. Check the map for impacts: bit.ly/4uLF5ms #WVTraffic #Charleston #WVDOH

Shout out to our hardworking crews in Preston, Raleigh, and Greenbrier counties, keeping West Virginia’s roads safe and clear by tackling overgrown vegetation! Every mow means better visibility and safer travels for all. Give them a wave when you pass by!

A look back at the project that created a new exit off I-64 connecting motorists to 16th Street—now Hal Greer Boulevard—providing a new route into Huntington. 🛣️Late April 1966.

Did you know your new "e-bike" might actually be an e-motorcycle? Since it's Bike Safety Awareness Month, it’s the perfect time to talk about why knowing the difference is crucial for your safety! Always check the motor wattage, the top speed, and the official class rating.
