West Virginia travel plazas close for renovations

BECKLEY, W.Va. (WSAZ) -Travelers using the West Virginia turnpike should expect some facility closures beginning on Monday.

The Bluestone Travel Plaza on the West Virginia Turnpike will close at 7 a.m. Monday, July 8, 2024, to allow completion of a new travel plaza being built on site, according to the West Virginia Parkways.

The travel plaza will be closed to truck parking until construction is complete at the end of the year.

In February 2023, the West Virginia Parkways Authority approved a contract for $122,820.381.53 with Paramount Builders LLC, of St. Albans, for demolition and renovation of the Beckley and Bluestone travel plazas.

Renovations will include a 24/7 Mountain State Market convenience store, outdoor dining options, expanded parking for tractor-trailers and passenger vehicles, EV charging stations, separated vehicle and tractor-trailer fueling options, a picnic area, and pet relief areas, according to the WVDOT.

“This will certainly have an impact on diesel fuel customers at Beckley and those commercial truck drivers who use the site for overnight parking,” said Jeff Miller, executive director of the Parkways Authority. “We recognize that, and want to assure the traveling public that when these sites are completed and reopened they will be able to enjoy world-class facilities, with expanded offerings over the previous facilities.”

How to watch TCU vs. Virginia women’s Sweet 16: Time, TV, stream

The NCAA Women’s Tournament Sweet 16 round continues Saturday, March 28, with a matchup between No. 3-seed TCU and No. 10-seed Virginia at Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, California.

The game tips off at 4:30 p.m. PT (7:30 p.m. ET, ABC).

No. 3 TCU is fresh from a nail-biting victory against No. 6-seed Washington in a final score, 62-59, during the Women’s NCAA Tournament Round of 32 on March 22.

The Horned Frogs were led behind a near triple-double from senior guard Olivia Miles who posted 18 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists. Clara Silva chipped in with 16 points and eight rebounds for TCU. Taylor Bigby added 15.

No. 10 Virginia is still riding momentum from their second round upset, a win against No. 2-seed Iowa, 83-75, on March 23.

The Cavaliers were paced by junior guard Kymora Johnson, who posted a game-high 28 points. Johnson and senior guard Paris Clark provided the bulk of scoring for Virginia. Clark could hardly miss as she added 20, herself. She shot 70% from the field, including 3-of-4 from three.

No. 10 Virginia will take on No. 3 TCU in the Sweet 16 round of the NCAA women’s basketball tournament on Saturday, March 28. Here’s how to watch the Women’s March Madness action.
