WV Division of Highways hears from citizens about Corridor H project through eastern mountains – WV MetroNews
HARDY COUNTY, W.Va. — A good crowd turned out to East Hardy High School Tuesday evening for a public hearing regarding the most eastern leg of Corridor H.
The stretch of the highway would run from Wardensville to the Virginia state line.
Sarah Leigh Runyon, deputy chief engineer of development with the West Virgnia Division of Highways, says it was a profitable meeting.
“It was a very good turnout. We had a lot of the community show up and some people from outside of the community as well,” Runyon said. “There were a lot of people that supported the project and a few people having comments in opposition or concern with what the project might do to the area.”
The current main thoroughfare is WV 55, a road known to be hilly and a bit dicey during the winter months, especially the two-lane sections of the road.
Runyon says Corridor H will be a better alternative, and some of the comments from Tuesday’s hearing echoed that.
“There are sections that are very steep and there are lots of wrecks. It’s very dangerous when we’re in snow and ice season, and the new alignment has a much better grade and it’s not as steep and unsafe as the current alignment,” Runyon said.
“We had a lot of comments supporting the road and how much safer it’s going to be to keep the tractor trailer traffic off the secondary roads and the roads through town, the roads where we typically have school bus stops and businesses along the side of the road,” Runyon said. “It’s going to keep the major through traffic away from that, which is going to make everything a lot safer.”
During the meeting, the Supplemental Environmental Assessment was formally announced. Runyon did say that the DOH has received negative comments and concerns ever since plans for this stretch started, mainly coming from Wardensville locals concerning how their water supply would be affected.
“There was nothing that was surprising. It’s the same comments that we’ve been getting from the public through this whole process,” Runyon said. “There’s been a lot of comments concerning the water supply for the town of Wardensville and possibly diverting traffic from the town and what that might to do them.”
Runyon also said the other main concern brought up Tuesday was neighboring Virginia, and if they would be holding up their end this leg of Corridor H.
“There were a lot of comments concerning whether Virginia plans to complete their section of Corridor H that connects to Interstate 81,” Runyon said. “We recently had some communication with Virginia DOT, and I think, now that we are completing this last section that connects to Virginia, they are ready to move forward with their section, at least for the planning stages.”
The DOH will be taking public comments on the stretch of Corridor H until June 1.

Missed opportunity
West Virginia had a 6-0 lead in game three of its series against Kennesaw State, looking well on their way to a clean three-game sweep of the Owls.
Unfortunately for Steve Sabins, the bullpen imploded following another strong five-inning outing from the big lefty Maxx Yehl. Bryson Thacker, Carson Estridge, and David Perez combined to give up four runs on five hits over the final three innings, allowing the Owls to steal Sunday’s game.
The loss frustrated West Virginia fans and rightfully so, but there’s no need to panic. The name of the game is to continue winning the series. You do that, you’ll find yourself in a position to make the NCAA Tournament and earn a high seed. Obviously, you don’t want to blow the opportunity of a sweep, especially when you’re up 6-0, but it’s not a loss that is going to ruin their resume. Losing the series, on the other hand, would have.
What’s next for the Mountaineers?
No single mid-week game this week for West Virginia. Instead, they’ll play a quick two-game series against Radford at home beginning Tuesday. They’ll get one day of rest before opening up a three-game series at home against Columbia, which will be the final series of non-conference play. WVU will have a single mid-week game against Maryland on Tuesday, March 10th, before beginning Big 12 action on the road against Baylor.

Then, redshirt freshman Ryan Maggy line a two-RBI single to centerfield in his first career start.
The Mountaineers extended their lead in the second when Kelly hit a three went opposite field for a three-run home run, his first of the season, for a 5-0 advantage.

Redshirt sophomore Bryson Thacker took the mound in the six. After a high and wide throw on a ground ball, a walk, and with two outs, junior Cooper Williams drooped an RBI single in right field to put the Owls on the board. Then, a pitch in the dirt rolled to the backstop to add another run, closing the gap to four, 6-2.
Carson Estridge was handed the ball in the seventh. The senior right-hander gave up a leadoff double before registering the next two outs, including a strikeout, before freshman McCollum line an RBI single just out of the reach of the glove of Kelly. Senior Jackson Chirello cut the deficit one, hammering the 3-1 pitch well over the right field wall and into the Waffle House parking lot for a two-run home run.

In the ninth, senior Matthew Graveline nearly tied the game with the swing of the bat, driving 0-2 pitch off the top of the left field wall for a one-out double to put the Mountaineers into scoring position. However, redshirt senior Harry Cain sat the last two Mountaineer hitters to collect his second win of the season as the Owls completed the comeback with the 7-6 decision.
